A couple of weeks ago my daughter’s feller got a sliver of metal in his eye so he went to A & E Blackburn. The sign said a minimum of 6 hours wait yet there were less than a dozen people waiting to be seen. After an hour when no one had been attended to he walked out.

By the Sunday the eye was still very sore so at 7:30 in the morning he was back in casualty with only a few other patients. He was still there by 3:00pm unseen. I’ve no idea what time he got out but that is absolutely scandalous.

I can accept long waiting times if casualty was full of people but how can they justify a potential 6 hours wait with only a dozen or so people waiting to be attended to?

NHS getting better? Don’t make me laugh!
