Review of Leicester royal infirmary

They are only making a good situation out of a bad one. Some of the wards are dated and scruffy but the staff are trying to cope with lack of funding and poor infrastructure. Fortunately my mum is the brand new state of art unit so they are all ok. However some departments are very stressed and underfunded like the Discharge Lounge which is heartless and soulless. Like all hospitals parking and getting around can be a bit of a challenge and if you are visiting be prepared for some quite old equipment and wards. Also if whoever is in the hospital please make sure they don't get bored as some wards have no TV's, Radios or Day Rooms. My Dad died in here and the after services are very good as are the Chaplaincy if you require it.
