Heartlands Hospital
They told me to go to A&E. I was sitting there for 21 hours. No bed, no drink, no blanket. I am diabetic and need food. I had to borrow £5 off somebody so that is the service of the NHS. After a whole day and night the doctor came to me. They said there was nothing wrong with me and sent me home. They then took 2 months getting back to me. Luckily my children are doctors and I was able to discuss it with them.

As part of our commitment to providing an honest and transparent view of health and social care services, Healthwatch Birmingham & Solihull encourages providers to respond to comments the public have left.
Alongside ensuring providers can have a fair say in discussions about their services, replying to reviews demonstrates evidence of responding to patient feedback for the CQC, who regularly monitor our Feedback Centre. It is also an effective way to recruit service users for any wider engagement work at your organisation.
Guidelines for provider responses:
Remember: your response will be seen by everyone who uses the Feedback Centre, not just the original reviewer. All responses are moderated in accordance with our moderation policy.
For full terms and conditions, including a guide to how right to reply works for service providers download this guide.
