"Eye Clinic closures"

I attend the Lincoln Hospital Eye Clinic for eye treatment on a regular basis (6 weekly).  The clinic (clinic 8) has a small sterile clinic room for the treatment required.   

For the last year or do this clinic room has been closed as it was deemed unfit for various reasons.  

The result is that my treatments and those of many other patients have to be undertaken in various other clinics or the main hospital theatres. Recently I have been required to travel to other hospitals including Boston, some 40 miles away, to get my treatment.   As I have injections in my eyes I cannot drive to the appointments and have to rely on volunteer drivers to take me.  There is a cost to me for this which I fully appreciate.  

The staff in the eye clinic in the various hospitals are wonderful.  However, I cannot help but feel they are hampered in giving the care that they would like to because the sterile clinic is closed thus inconveniencing staff and patients.  Apart from having to use other hospitals staff have to walk each patient down to the theatres or other clinic rooms, wait for the procedure to be completed and then walk then back to clinic 8.   What a waste of time.   

I am sure that the inefficiencies in the current procedures would have paid for the refurbishment of many clinic rooms over the last year or so.  I am sure the hospital management could do better.
