This is a fantastic, centrally placed hospital - needs to be fully resourced and kept open!

Worcester cannot cope and to far to go to visit relatives when they've been admitted and going around the car park many times to find a space. Not fun

Please leave it open some people can't get to Worcester and ni one in their right mind would go to Russells hall Nothing to do with staff it's just impossible to park!!!!!

I will not complain about the staff at Worcester as we have always received excellent treatment but the job of getting there when a person has a serious problem is not justified when there is a perfectly good facility in Kidderminster. Transfer people to a specialist unit after their initial treatment if necessary.

My last labour was 20 minutes. If I have another baby I will not make it to Worcester on time. It's an awful fact to have to consider.

We nee our own A & E back, WRH is struggling under the pressure to cope with the volume of people needing emergency treatment.

I had cause to bring a friend to Minor Injuries last week. The attention was fantastic and I felt it such a shame that other depts. could not be as open and as convenient. None of us are getting any younger and Worcester is such a long way - and a long wait

Lack of beds at other hospitals, travelling distance for seriously ill patients via ambulance to Worcs/Redditch/Dudley etc.

It makes sense when Worcester Hospital is under pressure and endangering patients if this carries on. One incident, because of this, can cost a fortune in compensation.

Having a child who has been in worcester hospital 5 times already makes me wish there was the service closer to home

Nothing wrong with our Hospital, Worcester is too far away, and parking is horrendous!

Worcester far too streached stood in their A & E with my mother for hours and treated in corridor no privicy. Patients and ambulance crews stacked up even through entrance doors. My mum was seriously ill and passed away a few weeks later. No way to treat any one human or animal.

The hospital won a blue ribbon then closed. If you have to travel to worcs with a bad complaint, chances are you may not survive.

This will never happen I no but a&e Kidderminster needs to be re opened!!! I work as a nurse in Worcester a&e and we literally work our socks off! No beds means people wait up to 11.5 hours for a bed on the ward! (Cus let's face it, there won't ever be a 12 hour breech but 11.5 hours is totally acceptable!!!!) People nursed to the best care we can give under these types of pressures but in corridors, specialities waiting up to 4-6 hours to be seen! It can't go on like this!

Before they closed the A&e department st kiddy hospital, my dads friend was rushed in. He later told us the paramedics said if they'd had to take him to Worcester A&e he would have died.

Worcestershire has never needed more services than it does now. Worcester Royal is imploding under the pressure.
