Altnagelvin Hospital: Pensioner says room was ‘like a dungeon’

A pensioner has described spending six days receiving treatment in a hospital staff locker room as like being in a dungeon.

Keith Moore, 77, went to Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry on 5 April after experiencing a build-up of fluid in his feet caused by a suspected infection.

He told BBC News NI his room lacked windows, a sink, a toilet and did not have a door.

“It was like a dungeon, it was worse than a dungeon,” he said.

The Department of Health (DoH) said it was “concerned” by the experiences described by Mr Moore.

It said it would be carrying out a review.

The Western Health and Social Care Trust (WHSCT) said it was “acutely aware of the continuing challenges and extreme pressures” in hospitals, but could not comment on individual cases due to confidentiality.
