I have unfortunately had to bring my baby to the A&E department (which is the closest to our home) on numerous occasions only to be told we fall outside the Belfast Trust and need to make a journey more than double the length on future occasions as we cannot be admitted to the RBHSC. I feel this as a whole needs to be looked at for all patients.
My son took unwell at the weekend whilst on a day trip to the North Coast & was admitted overnight to a different hospital, we weren’t at any stage advised to put him back in the car and drive to our local hospital. I understand that the RBHSC is the regional children’s hospital but when advised to attend there surely it shouldn’t be such an inconvenience when we do?
