The care and attention given to me during my pregnancy was exceptional. My consultant's private secretary was a delight as she could answer any of my questions. My consultant is a true gentleman.

The hospital terrifies me, especially A&E. I didn't expect to be put in an all male ward as a senior citizen and female and I don't find it acceptable that it took over six weeks to be rung up and told I had broken a limb, which had taken me to A&E in the first place.

I had my 3 children here (2014, 2017, 2019) and cannot fault the care given by the midwives, it was excellent every step of the way. Before, during and after labour there are so many to thank. Amazing people in a wonderful profession.

This hospital is not fit for purpose and the doctors have bad language skills and manners.

Honestly worst experience of my life. Was admitted at 5 in the morning after being referred by South-Doc. Was left on a trolley in the hallway and upon asking for further pain relief was fobbed off being informed they would be back in a few minutes (never did they return). Once examined was told there was nothing they could see but still gave me antibiotics for an infection they said was not there. Left the hospital in more pain and in worse condition. Was never actually told what was wrong with me and was left guessing and searching on Google. Within 48 hours and at this point barley able to walk, went to my own doctor who diagnosed the problem. Didn't feel safe in the hospital, felt the staff were inconvenienced by my presence and will never by choice be visiting there again and would not recommmend it to anyone else.

Thank you all for looking after my son so well while he was having a procedure. Keep up the good work guys.

I was a patient on a mixed ward and unfortunately there were no locks on the toilet door and there was no privacy which I think is outrageous.

Barringtons Hospital is now part of the Bon Secours Group. Major renovations currently taking place at the hospital which are badly needed. New entrance to hospital excellent and while the reception area looks fresh and bright the quality of the refurbishment is poor. It will not in my view stand the test of time. The garish colors of the waiting area and reception area in general will date rather quickly. Getting the balance right is tricky I know. The interior of the hospital is also being refurbished and this is progressing well. Drop off by car tricky at the moment due to renovations but all in all I hope to see the overall ratings for this hospital improve sooner rather than later!

Everything about our time in Bantry Hospital was a disgrace. An absolute shambles. No accountability. I can't believe people's taxes pay for this.

We were impressed by the timely care my mum got. We stayed with mum most of the time as she has dementia. I do have one complaint. I felt the catering staff left and lifted the food much too quickly, not really giving people time to eat. Maybe more staff helping people eat would be good.

I found the nurses I came across very rude and unprofessional. When they are at work they should be expected to work, and not chat all day to each other.

Everyone in the hospital was very kind and respectful. My 6-year-old daughter had a planned tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy and we both had the best experience possible.

I unfortunately miscarried recently for the 3rd time and had to have an ERPC. I was very upset and the staff were just amazing in the EPU, on the day ward and also in theatre pre-op. They were all so kind and understanding. It made a terrible day that little bit easier. I was treated with the utmost respect and dignity.

I was brought into UCHG severely dehydrated. On arrival, the doctor said I needed IV fluids. Nine hours later I was still on a trolley getting sick continuously and with severe diarrhoea. To say I am disgusted with the staff is an understatement.

Great medical facility. Please do not lose your level of kindness and care. Only thing I feel is that I really needed a longer inpatient stay. One night was not sufficient for me after the surgery I had. I was in a lot of pain and felt unwell on discharge. I really would have benefited from some more time with physiotherapy.

I personally feel that a one night stay for the surgery I had was not sufficient for me as I left the hospital in pain and feeling physically unwell and weak. A week later I still have a lot of pain.

One staff member in A&E dept is extremely rude. Their attitude towards me as a vulnerable patient who suffers with a serious mental health illness, which requires many A&E visits for treatment, is extremely rude.

Came in with broken leg and was treated very well. Everyone I met was brilliant and couldn’t have been more helpful.

Poor treatment.

Outstanding care from my consultant.

Dismissive, rude consultant. Unhelpful. No compassion or care for the patient.

Couldn't recommend this department to anyone based on my experience. Standard of care left a lot to be desired by any modern medical yardstick.

They were honest and open when dealing with me... treated me with dignity and respect and couldn’t have been more respectful if they had tried.

Very poor service. I was spoken to very abruptly and rudely by one of the doctors and a nurse assisting him.

OMG the people you have to ring - secretaries to get appointments or rearrange something. Two were helpful but kept passing the book. A week and a half later got through to the main person in the area I wanted and they were very rude, would not let me speak. All I wanted was a transfer letter and the clinic I was to go to still has not received this. That person should not be near a phone speaking like that. I thought they were supposed to help, well they made me very angry. I suppose my problem is minor compared to some people but you like a bit of respect.

Appointment for ultrasound was for 9.30am. At precisely 9.30, I was prepared and within minutes the procedure began. I left the hospital at 10.05am completely satisfied with my experience.

When I turned 15 years of age, I fell badly on my arm. After three nights without a wink of sleep due to pain in my arm, I went to St Columcille's. I was waiting to get seen and after about half an hour, a nurse came and started shouting at me 'don't you know we're busy?' Wow! I was really touched by the compassion I was shown... The Irish health system is diabolical in my opinion.

Had to phone twice for my discharge record a week after discharge. Shows wrong admission diagnosis. Not explained why I had the problem when I was admitted. Found something unrelated, referred to a specialist in another hospital.

I attended NMH semi-private clinic with my first child in 2017 and could not fault it. The midwifes and consultants where always professional and nice. I understand that clinics are busy but I felt they always explained everything to me clearly. I was alway seen in under an hour. When I was in labour I was treated very well. I went from 1-8cm in a really short time and my midwife Josephine took me every step of the way even when my daughter was in distress, she kept it really professional and encouraged me every step of the way. On the semi private ward there was some building work going on but despite this I felt the general cleanliness was of a high standard and barely noticed it. The food was amazing also! I found the midwives on the ward very attentive and patient with me especially Anitha, Natasha, Laura and Siobhan. I still remember their names after two years, they really were amazing. In January this year I unfortunately miscarried and the care I received was second to none. It was the day of the nurses strike and although the midwives where under pressure, I felt so cared for. The only thing I was a bit let down by was the lack of information in regards to what happens etc... I am currently in the early stages of pregnancy and I will be attending Holles Street again. The midwives and care staff are amazing and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

This visit was warranted because symptoms presented were similar to those I had earlier in the year for serious issue. I got the all clear but was kept overnight for observation. All staff in the surgical ward were equally friendly, courteous and professional. They even let me out for fresh air.
