“It’s a disgraceful situation this matter of not being able to get attended to when you are in an emergency. The whole thing needs shaking up.”
AdvertisementRecounting his personal experience, he said: “I hope they have somebody there [at Redcar] who can stitch up a wound. I had an occasion when I badly split my head open, there was blood everywhere, and I rang Redcar Hospital and it was a weekend. They said ‘Yes you can come, but we have no-one who can stitch a wound, you will have to go to James Cook’.
“I rang and said ‘Can you stitch a wound – they said ‘Yes’ – ‘Is there a long wait?’ – ‘No’ – I went there and there was nobody else there, I went straight in and had it stitched up, problem solved. There are a lot of things wrong there – why do we have this imbalance?” “The lights are always on in A&E, anybody can come in, but part of the issue is some of the people we have got coming in, they don’t really need to be there, but it is not always clear where you can get your needs met. This proposal is about making it really clear where the best place is to go, hopefully this will help reduce some of the queues that are experienced.”
