about bloody time, the old wing was a death trap. hope they put in decent heating this time.
six storeys of taxpayer money and they'll probably still make us wait 8 hours in ED
absolute scenes when they run out of money halfway through staffing it
tbh you're not wrong, but the old wing was literally falling apart so something had to give
yeah nah, it's just a bandaid on a broken system. we need more staff not just shiny buildings
actually worked as a nurse there. new wing is a game changer for patient flow. stop whingeing everyone

meanwhile they're laying off cleaners and support staff. priorities are farked
my grandad died in the old hospital because they couldn't get a bed in time. hope this helps someone else
sorry for your loss mate, that's rough. hopefully things get better now
read the article, it's about capacity dumbass. maybe do that before whinging
drove past it this morning, looks flash. but the traffic around there is still a nightmare
tell that to the guy who died waiting for a bed. grow up
ffs another hospital while our roads are falling apart. whoever signed this off needs a reality check
lol cope, it's a hospital not a motorway mate
