Dear Walker52.

I first of all want to apologise for the delay in your treatment and the impact that this has had on your life. I can hear the frustration in your story.

As you know, this last year has been extremely challenging in the health service and so many of our services have struggled to meet demand.

However, I would like the chance to talk to you and ensure that you are able to access any support that is available while you are waiting.

Would you like to contact me by email Chris.Thomas@belfasttrust.hscni.net so that we can have a conversation?

I can hear that things have gotten worse for you recently and I want to make sure that we can help to give you back that quality of life that you feel you are missing right now.

Please do get in touch and I wish you the best moving forward.

Chris Thomas.
