My partner had surgery here - for the first and last time. Pre-op care very good. Post-op care leaves a lot to be desired. Admitted 7 am, had op at 8.30 am then took almost until midnight to find him a bed for the night in between being moved from recovery ward onto two others. I was not allowed to see him post-op which made me concerned about his care and welfare. The doctor wanted to discharge him before he was in a fit state, his being in great pain and discomfort and not being able to urinate naturally. He had to insist on a further night in hospital before being sent home - still far too early in my estimation. We ended up in our local hospital A&E Department the same evening as he was discharged because of post-op difficulties. Follow-up by phone to hospital in the following week was of no reassurance. The public restaurant was of a higher standard of cleanliness to that of Coyle Ward and its toilets. To be honest, the place needs a good manager, better organisation and a much higher standard of patient care.
