My relative has been in ward a12 FV total hospital. They have oral cancer. They were recently moved to shared ward The Kelpies.
The locker beside their bed is in a state of disrepair, broken shelves missing drawer , unlocked drawer. I had to take all of their medication into hospital. My problem at this time is that their medication is in the easily accessible unlocked drawer.
A visitor alerted the ward staff who assured them this health and safety issue would be dealt with immediately. This was during the afternoon and made me aware, however that evening I visited and was horrified that things were still the same. This is a busy ward and anyone could help themselves to whatever is in there. I am petrified because they also have a peg feed and the pump is currently held together with elastic bands.
