2nd July 2012 / Ward 34 / Operation went well. Once on the wards I was very well looked after by staff on both wards. Staff were excellent. They seem to enjoy their work, so make it a happy atmosphere. Well done!! / I have no complaints at all, but family and friends have bad reports for the hospital telephone service. / Yes / Yes / Domestics, HCAs, students, staff nurses & sisters are all very pleasant with each other and have all enjoyed a laugh with the patients. I was disappointed to be sent to DarlingtonHospital, but with hindsight I feel I was very lucky.
2nd July 2012 / Ward 34 / The staff have been wonderful, caring and pleasant and thoughtful. They have answered any and all questions. / Not very much. The food could be improved, but the service more than made up for it.
