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

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.Â
