Waiting time in A and E
My mother got admitted from her home in Hove to the Royal Sussex by her GP on Thursday 16th August. She was taken by ambulance to the A and E department and was admitted to the hospital at approx 14:45. From 14:45 she was on the ambulance bed in a corridor, until a cubicle became available in A and E at approx 17:00. She was then in the cubicle in A and E until 02:00 the following day, when she was admitted to a ward. During the time she was in A and E, her blood pressure and temperature was checked, but not her blood sugar (she is diabetic), until I mentioned this to the nurse at approx 20:45. She was not seen by a doctor until 22:00 when they decided to admit her and not moved to the ward until 02:00
