The complaints process is there to be used, it is there so that the hospital and the ward concerned know their failings, and have a chance to respond to the criticism levelled at them.
Hospitals are not quiet environments....there is always something going on.......and sleeping isn't enhanced by having someone in the next bed snoring, f@rting, or needing a commode in the middle of the night(or worse...the crash cart)........I worked there for almost 30 years and although some of the trolleys had wheels that squeaked, I never saw a trolley with square wheels.....that is why today, they try to get patients home to their own environment as quickly as is safely possible.

Margaret...you are spot on with your observation.
Happy new year and let the complaining nannies give credit where it is due.
You and I know that the NHS is one hell of a service and let us be thankful for that.
