Link between ward

The link up from the ward to Phlebotomy is not always brilliant. I have had to walk to there, to get the paperwork a few times from Phlebotomy. It is rather ridiculous as you'd think it was on the internal system. Phlebotomy themselves are excellent. I do wish I could access the 'transfusion' side more locally as have to travel quite far weekly to get it. Also have to have family member bring me as I am quite weak from it.
