"Under the Patients Rights (Scotland) Act 2011 you have a guarantee to be admitted for treatment (operation) within 12 weeks. This means that we will offer you an appointment on or before {date}. This is the maximum that should should have to wait, of course we will endeavor to see you sooner. " This is verbatim a quote from the QEU hospital (Southern General) letter issued to me.
I called my consultant's secretary and was informed it was highly unlikely I would be seen on this date. They informed me he has a waiting list of 7 to 8 months for hip arthoscopy. So they said it will be well into the new year. My problem is we have made a lot of arrangements around this time for people to be off with me and look after my two young boys. I need some help and advice please.
"12 week time guarantee likely to be more than doubled"
