"awful wait lists and communication"

After 14 months on the waitlist to see a gynaecologist with suspected endometriosis, I got a text with an appointment date but no letter. On the website gynaecology is shown in a completely different building and when I found it there was no receptionist to check I was in the right place, luckily I found some lovely nurses who helped me and let me know I was there to see a doctor (not have a scan). The gynaecologist was also lovely. But I am now on a waitlist to have a scan and then will be on another to get diagnostic surgery and then another to have surgery to remove the endometriosis (if that's what it is). I have been left in serious, progressively worsening pain, for over a year and it looks like I'll have another year before I can actually diagnosed and appropriately treated. I'm not the only one - lives are being placed on hold indefinitely and people left in pain because gynaecology is being neglected by the Royal.
