I transport and attend appointments at the Sydney Eye Hospital Outpatients Department with my parent who is in their 90s and blind in one eye and has limited sight in the other.
The staff are respectful and courteous but the appointment times are given as a block booking and I find we are waiting for around four hours which is very stressful and tiring for an elderly person with a disability.
I would like to see more thought and compassion when these appointments are given as we have been attending for around 10 years and the situation has seemingly not improved.
