"MRI scan result"

I, too, am awaiting the result of an MRI scan at Southmead and have been told there is up to an 8-10 week wait. This is unacceptable. People often wait 7 or 8 weeks (perhaps longer?) to get the scan from the time they see their GP/Consultant who then requests it. If there is another 2 - 3 month wait before the result gets back to the referring clinician, then you could be looking at between 4-5 months from the time of referral until the patient gets their result. How is this in any way acceptable? It can only be hoped that if there was something wrong on the scan, the result would come back sooner (otherwise the problem could have got worse during the waiting time), but I wonder if that is actually the case.

This is not a new problem for Southmead - but what, if anything, is being done about it?
