Is there not a minor unit people can go to? To take pressure off A & E âŚ.Is there  one nearby?
Personally think people who  literally waste A and E time for stupid things like hiccups, bad bruise, etc should be chargedâŚ. Not emergency at all and a lot of pharmacists can help as well with advice on say migraine, minor sprains, bruising etcâŚÂ

Youâd 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 thereâs a chance that one of them is presenting with something serious and theyâre turned away⌠law suit.Â
