In March, I went to Drs with lump in breast and was referred to breast clinic as a red flag case.
Patients are targeted to be seen within 2 weeks. The waiting times in the NHS Northern Trust was stated as a mean of 3 weeks. After 4 weeks I contacted the outpatients dept to be told the wait was actually 11 weeks! The waiting time now states 4 weeks on the website.
I feel that patients are being misled about the waiting times. 11 weeks is far too long to have to wait to be seen and disease could spread further within this time. Patients deserves openness and transparency.
