Signs @ Bridlington Hospital SPELL-EXTREME-DANGER?
When you are leaving Bridlington Hospital you will now see pinned to all exit doors this sign;
As the Scarborough Healthcare NHS Trust struggle with mounting debts; some £2.9m of debt.
Has the Bridlington Hospital struggles with a shortage of staff; one of these staff shortages just happens to be the gardener, the very person who grits the roads and pathways; cleans up the rubbish, removes the hundreds of cigarette ends laying around our brilliant hospital; tends the plants and sweeps the areas; non of these jobs are now been completed; what a shame!
The Signs on every door read: "CAUTION - SLIPPERY - SURFACE DURING TIMES OF ICE & SNOW THE ROADS AND PATHWAYS MAY BE UNTREATED" Surely this is a major safety issue and Gritting should be undertaken at all times.
If a Patient, Visitor or a member of staff falls or slips in adverse weather conditions at this time of year and breaks a bone i.e. Leg or Arm etc; they will no-doubt end up at Scarborough Hospitals Accident & Emergency; because Bridlington Hospital will not be able to treat them; once the injury is repaired and completed the patient will be discharged and have to find there own way home; at there own cost?
Other staff shortages at Bridlington Hospital still cause severe concerns we believe; we can only rely on the discretion of the Scarborough Healthcare NHS Trust to amend these problems at there soonest.
