I know personally that they have chosen not to have many or any in some departments in on a weekend, as they cost too much. They are now running on minimal staff, which is obviously not meeting need.

To be expected though the way things are handled The idea we're supposed to swallow, that the same level of care can be possible with less resources.... how that's supposed to work I will never know.

We have 2 hospitals near us, one doesn't have an a and e, but it has a walk in centre. and the other has an a and e but ovb gets busy because the others in the area dont.

We had to take Oliver on a weekend once as he wasnt right and we had to wait 4 hours just to be told to go home and come back if it gets worse.

I feel sorry for the poor nurses, OH's mum is a nurse and she has said that people have ended up dead because they havent been able to give them the best care, she works with breathing problems etc. x

I think a huge amount of the staff in the NHS feel that the care isnt to a good standard anymore. They cannot say it though not publicly.

I worry how little the general public knows about the changes in their local hospitals and how it really is killing people.

I have said the same, i dont think us as the public really realise what is going on, and i dont think we ever will.
