"the waitin area was full to capasity ..."

About: Northern General Hospital

(as the patient),

What could be improved

the waitin area was full to capasity and was in a awfull state. There was blood spatters on the wall and seats. There were broken seats makin less space. We were never informed how long we were likly to be waiting, as we couldnt get a babysitter at such short notice we had to bring him too. if we had been informed of waitin times i would have taken him else where. i also noticed the ladies toilets had not been cleaned/checked since 2am that morning we arrived at 10.30am. i feel the sheffield hospitals have a fantastic service but the waitin areas are just not to satisfaction, i feel there is high risk of infection and contamination whilst wating!!
