Story from nhs.uk

"Opening Hours"

About: Altrincham General Hospital

Looked on website and drove to Altringham. Website clearly says open till 8pm but doesn't add that no entry after 730pm which I only found out upon arrival at 735pm. Stating that a service is "open" while the doors are locked is clearly misleading and caused me to waste over an hour in travel time. The security guard mentioned that "this happens all the time".
