I don't doubt what you say about the wards but it would appear to me that outpatients is totally different.
I have noticed on a number occassions the same member of staff either drinking tea or taking dirty cups away and there always seems to be plenty of other nursing staff wandering around almost aimlessly. Maybe if some of these staff were on the wards attending to patients?
I have also noticed that now the outpatients admin staff are centralised patients have to wait ages to book in.
Since our new Super Hospital opened I have regularly had to wait up to 30 mins on the corridor, (no seats provided). At one particular appointement I felt like I was going to pass out and I am sure I was not the only one who found the wait unconfortable
