Pregnant told I need anti notices via my doctors

Story from nhs.uk

"Pregnant told I need anti notices via my doctors"

About: Newham General Hospital

My doctors called me today to pick up a prescription I am 10 weeks pregnant. I asked what is the prescription for they said we dont know Newham hospital maternity faxed it to them. I was shocked and angry. It took me 20 minutes to speak to someone to find out I had an infection that they had known about for a week. The midwife I spoke to was rude and said someone tried to call I said you haven't they then admitted they hadn't! I also went to z12 for check in two weeks ago I found all the staff rude/bad tempered. I am dreading having my baby in this hospital!
