"Pharmacy Services"

About: Burnley General Hospital

After a long wait in the children's clinic with my 8 month old grandson we had to go to the pharmacy for a prescription - on taking the ticket we was told we had about a 20 minute wait so promptly went to the restaurant for a drink but on our return the item was still not ready - We had been at the hospital before 10am for a 10-15 appointment and at 12-15 we was still waiting , while I don't want to appear rude and not want to wait I feel with a young baby it's no fun as the baby had gone through enough having seen a doctor and was getting rather restless at this stage . We are now in 2014 so don't really think patients should be facing long delays in the pharmacy or is it that they are understaffed ?
