sheffandy   24 #8 Posted May 13, 2014 I think he's having a pop at NGH. Silly comments really, NGH is not that bad.  That was my next point. The A&E has just had millions spent on a massive refurbishment on clinical areas and especially the Resus area. Hardly workhouse conditions, but hey ho let's keep having a pop and a moan.
