"Lack of diagnostic Echo Cardiogram for inpatient"

My husband has been an inpatient in Hairmyers hospital for 7 days. He has heart arrhythmia's of unknown origin, telemetry of the heart since admission and a variety of drug based treatments. Every Doctor that he has seen has stated that he requires an Echo cardiogram to assist the making of a diagnosis ,but yet here we are a week later with no Echo Cardiogram slot available. We have been told that this may get done as an outpatient as many others are requiring this test. Well I would suggest that given my husbands symptoms and the lack of a diagnosis this should put him on the priority list!
