"The waiting time is around 5 hours but a triage nurse should be able to see you in 30 minutes". That would have been the simple and accurate answer to the question - no need for any disclaimers! Quite some hot air on here about 'floodgates'. It is not asking the earth for patients to get correct information. I assume everyone posting on here would accept they are liable in negligence if they omit material information from advice to clients?!

I quite agree that there is an element of contributory negligence by C. I would find for C with a very significant reduction in damages for contib.

The real tragedy here is that people are waiting 5 hours to get seen in the "emergency" department. So I would order the damages be paid by Mr J Hunt.
