"Waiting times"

About: Victoria Infirmary / Ear, Nose & Throat

(as a relative),

My aunt was  referred to  see an  ENT specialist at the beginning of September 2018 at the  New Victoria Hospital, Glasgow  I called them in November and was told she should be seen at the end of January 2019 to date we are still waiting on an appointment. I have just called them again today and was advised that it's a 35 week wait so she wont be seen for at least another 15 weeks. I think this is totally unacceptable especially as she is taking care of her sick husband, cant hear a thing and the gunge is still leaking out of her ear.

Dear LizW6

Unfortunately, due to an increase in referrals the Ear, Nose and Throat our waiting times are longer than we would like. I apologise for this and would like to assure you and your Aunt that we are doing everything we can to reduce our waiting times.

Please pass on my apologies to your Aunt.

Kind Regards

Susan Groom

General Manager
