I am very sorry to read about the wait your mother had to get back to her care home, its unacceptable. Can you email the date that this occurred so I can forward to the Patient Transport Manager as to why there was such a unacceptable wait and why we left her in a wheel chair and not a comfortable chair or bed. jonathan.wright@meht.nhs.uk
