A close relative of mine has now been waiting well over the 'maximum 18 weeks' for kidney stone surgery. Despite suffering pain and nausea. contacting PALS, CCG, PHSO seems ineffective - the wait is scheduled to continue into October. I have just been reading the CQC's Quality Report published in April and the authorities are well aware that the 18 week waiting period was not being complied with and say the Trust must take action to improve this. If our distressing experience is anything to go by the efforts to improve are not working.
"21 weeks and still waiting for urgent surgery....."
