My mother was admitted to A and E in February and has been in hospital since waiting to be reviewed and discharged after progressing very well.
She has received good care from nursing staff and she has been looked after in Station 14 but unfortunately has been waiting for a Cardiology Review for nearly 2 weeks now. My mum is well now, and she is blocking a bed that could be useful to someone else in need of it. Also, she is vulnerable and we are worried she will get a hospital acquired infection if remains longer. There is no communication why she is not being seen or when she will be seen. It is getting very frustrating for her and for me. She is much better of at home now and she needs to get better as her immunity is already low.
"Why are we waiting to be discharged?"
