Chapel Allerton Hospital 2013-06-09 Person 5 5 0

This is a nice clean hospital, friendly helpful staff physiotherapists and the Surgeon visited the ward to see his patients. .From the visitors point of view the parking fees are extortionate, sometimes one is only parked for 1 hour or even half an hour if dropping something off there, but the £2.70 fee applies (no change given). The biggest bugbear of all is the waiting to go home, When a patient is told he can arrange for someone to take them home the next day, they fully expect to be discharged at a determined time for example 11am. Waiting for medication to arrive from another source when there is a pharmacy in the hospital one floor below (but closed), is deplorable, 5-6 hours wait is no joke, sometimes the person you arrange to take you home is not available when you are discharged later than expected. I understand this is one of the main problems with the system in all hospitals, but it seems no-one has yet sorted it out.
