The granddaughter of a woman in her 90s who is facing a protracted wait in A&E for an operation on her broken hip says the situation is a disgrace.

The granddaughter of a woman in her 90s who is facing a protracted wait in A&E for an operation on her broken hip says the situation is a disgrace.

She said there were then issues trying to make staff aware of her grandmother's pre-existing conditions."They didn't seem to get this - my granny was put in the middle of a room bunged with other people. The woman said consideration had not been given to her granny's basic needs and it was Monday night before she had a catheter inserted.

"Even silly wee things like, I had to take my hoodie off and fold it up for her because they didn't have any pillows for her," she said. She said that having got her granny settled on Monday night, she returned to see her in an awful state on Tuesday morning."They had the bed flat, she had pulled the drip thing out of her arm, so she was covered in blood.

"I think it's important for my granny to be seen obviously, but as a human being, for anyone else in that position, I would say it's a disgrace," she said."What they're doing at night is fasting her on the off chance she might be able to get the operation the next day."I know they're rushed off their feet and I have every sympathy for NHS staff, but something has to be done, it's ridiculous.
