I ordered a delicious brownie box for my nieces birthday. I highly recommend, good value too. -
Yes, they are seen but they are seen by a GP. -
You’d be surprised… the waiting room is clogged up with people who present no acute symptoms and just want something to do / attention, a lot of it is mental health issues. And they will wait 8+ hours, because triage pushes them to the back of queue, but they all have to be seen. Because, if there’s a chance that one of them is presenting with something serious and they’re turned away… law suit. -

I don't doubt it, but even then a headache could mean so many different things, from a tension headache to a brain tumour or stroke. A sore arm could be nothing more than a bad bruise or early indication of a serious neurological condition. Perhaps I have this wrong but the presenting symptoms can only be properly analysed for significance after a final diagnosis and followup, surely? Maybe that was done and all were non-serious, in which case those figures would be genuinely shocking. I fine it hard to believe anyone could bear to be in a&e these days with nothing worse than a sore throat. As a walk-in they are likely to have to wait up to 12 hours to be seen.
