Wellington Hospital Emergency Room

No, just don't.nnLook, I appreciate it may feel personnel when you've waited for 9½ hours to get seen for very serious symptoms, and then are overlooked due to lack of, and overworked staff.nHowever it really isn't the staff's fault, from what I gather, it's primarily the council's followed by Mayor Tory.nFrom having read reports over the last 2 years, I gather that she has just had far too much personal struggle to properly focus on the requirements of Wellington, and its needs.nIf Wellingtonians wish to see changes made, then we need to rethink who we collectively push for running the state.nThis is not a personal attack on Mayor Tory, as I believe she has had nothing but the best of intentions when it comes to running the city and outer suburbs.nIt is just an unfortunate reality that the last 5 years have been tough on anyone, and good intentions are stretched far too thin by the challenging reality many have been presented with.nHaving read the review left by the woman who's sister took her own life, having been failed to get seen by the A&E department, I believe the situation is relatively severe. But change can only be made at the core root of an issue.nSo if you're reading this with the intention of writing a critical review of the Emergency Department, please consider that more than a review, your opinion as a Wellingtonian is what matters, and it takes the majority of public opinion to persuade change.nGoodluck.

I have been waiting for 7hrs in pain and still need wait. No one know how long should I wait more to see a doctor. Just pamol and vital checking were repeated. NZ health system especially in ED is really awful!!!!!

9 hour wait, 1 dose of painkillers. Did bloods 7 hours ago so surely they have results back from that but still no information on bloods.nRemaining patient and totally understand the staff are busy but if you’ve been here longer than 6 hours at least you could keep people informed about how much longer the wait might be.nMost people would appreciate and understand if they were updated after a 6 hour plus wait.nArrived 4:45pm Friday 5/7/24 for significant unexplained amount of blood loss- still waiting at 1:21am Saturday morning.

We have waited 7 hours so far to be seen for a head Injury with no timeframe of when we will be seen. No one has checked on the teenager with head I jury since arrival. Bullshit wait times.

Super friendly people at the front desk, the nurse was super friendly and good, doctors were great, I have waited for a while but you can not complain about that it’s after hours and it’s a free service here, so a lot of people come here . If you don’t want to wait long, pay the money and goto the doctors by the basin,
