Appointments system utter madness!

Story from nhs.uk

"Appointments system utter madness!"

About: Westmorland General Hospital

Anything else?

Thank you Morcambe Bay Health Trust for making me wait 6 weeks for an MRI scan which I had on 14th November now to be told that I can't come and get the results until 16th Jan 2012! As if having any type of investigation is stressful enough but to wait 2 months for the results because my consultants clinics have been cut dramatically is madness!

Let's hope that the bone disease that I have hasn't worsened by then because boy are Morcambe Bay Health Trust are going to have to dig into their pockets to put it right!
