"Left waiting"

About: Gilbert Bain Hospital / Medical imaging

(as a service user),

I had an appointment for a CT scan, I was told to report to the X-ray Department, which I did. Nobody there when I arrived so I rang the bell.  Despite hearing plenty voices and joking in an office nearby, still nobody came.  I sat down and waited, a lady came by and looked at me but didn’t ask who I was or was I being dealt with.

It took another 10 minutes for them to notice I’d arrived only to be told to go to CT and wait there.  

In the CT waiting area I was handed a gown and told to get ready, no door closed, very little privacy and other patients coming and going. It didn’t feel great.

I feel quite let down by the service in this department overall.
