Cross service issues

Communication between the hospitals regarding my care is very limited. They don't talk to each other and test have to be repeated. I now go straight to Papworth for things. The food wasn't good, very mushy. The care was lacking, I didn't get a wash until lunch time and when I had been hoisted into the bath i was told my time was up and I had to get out. I was not given any contact details for someone to contact after discharge should things not go to plan.
