"not happy"

About: Royal Stoke University Hospital

I taken my daughter to the hospital because the doctor asked me to take her and we went in a ambulance and the waiting time was 3 hour's to see a doctor and then the doctor told me that I can take my daughter home and they never asked me how I am getting home with my 2 year old daughter so in the end I walked from Newcastle hospital to tunstall with a 2 year old

Dear Anonymous Please note that transport is not routinely booked for all patients who arrive at the Emergency Department by ambulance. However, on the patient’s discharge, all staff should ensure that patients who do arrive by ambulance have a means of getting home. This is particularly pertinent when there are young children involved and we would like to offer our apologies for not ascertaining that you had no means of getting home with your young child. Alison Hopwood Deputy Matron Emergency Department University Hospital of North Staffordshire
