Prostrate problems

"Prostrate problems"

About: Victoria Hospital / Urology

(as a service user),

Last year my GP referred me to Urology at the Victoria Hospital (15th December 2022). After seeing posts online about how important it is to get checked if you are having trouble! I checked with Urology early January to find out I was on the list but with a 30-week delay I should be seen sometime in July. I don’t think that means I am going to be seen as quickly as possible. Apparently they have never recovered from Covid! This is no consolation to me. I think this service is appalling!
