I AM writing to express my disappointment with the staff at Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

My father was admitted to the emergency ward of Queen Elizabeth Hospital at about 8pm on May 8.

Having learnt about the incident from a note written by my mother, I arrived at the hospital at 9.37pm.

I gave the staff at the information counter of the emergency ward my father's name and telephone number and asked them about my father's whereabouts.

To my surprise, my father's record was not found in the computer. And the staff insisted that my father had either not been admitted to the hospital, or had not yet arrived.

It was explained to me that if he had been admitted to the hospital, the computer would have had his information.
