"A&E"

About: Torbay Hospital

The waiting room/area must be the coldest in the country, the automatic doors are forever open, as there are two food/drinks vending machines in between the the two sets of doors and are very well used, so people are always standing there making their purchases. I was there for four hours on Sunday afternoon 30 May 2015 waiting while our son was being treated and I was frozen, I would be very surprised if some people don't end up with stiff necks or some such conditions. It was not a very pleasent experience, which is always the same at Torbay Hospital. Unhappy Hospital user
