The Older Alba And A&e

[albaqwerty]

pal drove him up about 2 hours ago.
Dislocated knee-cap again. Poor lad, in a bit of discomfort.

Have since found out that local A&E don't open til 9AM, have no idea what time they close at night though.

We used to have quite a few A&E's in this area, open 24 hours, has anyone else had theirs closed down completely?

Ouch! Poor lad.


Is it attached to a Hospital? If so didn't know they had opening hours.

Nearest one to us used to be Canterbury, (7-8 miles) now it's a Minor Injuries Unit. A & E's (24hrs) are now Margate and Ashford both a lot further away

That sounds painful, not many available here.

The A&E in Belfast City Hospital closed a couple of years ago. But the Royal Victoria is only a mile from it so there was probably an over supply.
Hope the lad finds treatment quickly.

it's attached to a hospital Mamya. Maternity hospital is in same grounds too.
(which has got nothing to do with with either of the albas yet lol)

apropos, town police station closes at the weekend too. Strange place

[Baldric]

Sorry, meant to add Margate 15 miles and Ashford 26 miles

Dumbarton closed it's A&E a few years back, they've to travel a few miles to Paisley or this new fancy schmancy hossy in Govan

15 miles surely can mean quite a difference in life and death?

A & E closed at night!!!! I am surprised. I did not know they closed.
My local A & E is open 24 hours.
