Thank you for your posting about the waiting area prior to being admitted to the ward for your operation. I am sorry that you were uncomfortable during this time. I will ensure that the Trust lead for the Patient Led Assessment of the Care Environment (PLACE) is made aware of your posting and ask him to visit and review this area to assess the suitability of the seating.

Kind regards
