First off the signage of the hospital is garbage so unless you know exactly where you're going you'll need to ask a member of staff for directions. I'm currently waiting in the maternity triage ward with my wife who may be experiencing complications 35 weeks into her pregnancy. We've been here since 1830 and have yet to be seen. We sit with 2 other couples, all worried and as yet unseen. Its currently 1900 as of writing this. We gained access to the triage ward through tailgating a staff member as nobody answered the door entry system. This is the second time I've been to the hospital, the first time my wife went to A&E due to abnormal bleeding. It took around 2 hours for her to be seen then, too. I'm not sure if its a lack of staff, a lack of other resources or simply a lack of interest but based on our experience it is clear that this hospital is not fit for purpose and unable to deal with even minimal medical incidents.
Edit - 1940, still waiting.
