Disappointed that my partner attended her gp practice who were very timely and accommodating and referred her to the breast clinic as an urgent referral and was advised a six week wait for urgent suspicion of cancer. As you can imagine this is a stressful situation to be in and any wait is anxiety provoking.
After not having heard anything my partner called to query and was told the urgent list was currently sat at 14 weeks. We have had no communication from the clinic despite this being weeks ago and feel this is unfair and are deeply stressed at the potential outcomes.
Can you advise if NHS Grampian has any contingency plan to address the issue especially if urgent referrals for such a cause are of this time frame to wait, any information guidance and advice is most welcomed
"Long wait for urgent referral"
