Dear nats29, I'm sorry to hear of your daughters wait. I have passed your case onto the appropriate service manager who will be in touch today regarding the plan for your daughter.

Best wishes

Dear Nats29

I am sorry that your daughter has had to wait longer than 12 weeks for her surgery and can fully appreciate your frustration and concern. Unfortunately we have pressure on our waiting time at present resulting in patients waiting over 12 weeks for their procedure.

If you would like to get in touch with me on 01698 753389 or by email lynn.mctavish2@lanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk I can look into where your daughter is on the list and whether we could put her down as able to take a cancellation.

Kind Regards

Lynn
