"Pharmacy are shocking"

About: Tameside General Hospital

Was told my prescription would be 15-20 mins and was still sat around waiting 40mins later,I asked the dispenser how much longer it would be and they asked the pharmacist who was very rude in their answer but I was again told it wouldn't be long all in all I had to wait 55 mins

We are really sorry you have had cause to raise this. It is difficult to respond without knowing when you attended the hospital pharmacy regarding waiting for your prescription to be dispensed. It is usual for 90% of prescriptions to be dispensed within 30 minutes.

I apologies for the pharmacist being rude to you such behaviour regarding staff attitude we take very seriously, if you would like us to look into this in more detail please can I ask you contact our Chief Pharmacist on 0161 922 6291
