"Issues getting information I require"

About: Heartlands Hospital / Respiratory medicine

(as the patient),

I am a patent with respiratory physiology department and I have a sleep aponea machine which I use every night. I have an application pending for the last 9 months to be a bus driver and despite many requests from the DVLA sending forms to be completed and sent to the DVLA so I can get an all clear and they issue my driving license they have head nothing back from the Hartlands hospital respiratory physiology department. I phoned the dvla a week ago to see whats the hold up and they say they have wrote to them 6 times requesting the information I have tried chasing it up myself but my phone calls tend to go unanswered or when they do answer they promise me someone will return my call within 3 hours but the call never comes and the DVLA have told me that if they dont get the required information then my application for a bus drivers license will be rejected and I will lose my job all because they wont give the DVLA the information requested.

Dear Evil Wolf

I am sorry to hear about your experience and I am concerned that you have not had a response from the Respiratory Physiology Department. The senior manager for Patient Experience has made enquiries for you and the correct direct number for you to call is 0121 424 1734 – this is the number for the medical secretary for the lead consultant for Sleep Studies at HGS sites. However, we will not be able to progress your request without a full name, date of birth, and or NHS number / Hospital number.

Alternatively you can contact our Patient Relations Team at email uhb-tr.Complaints-ConcernsandCompliments@nhs.net or contact them on 0121 424 0808 and they will look into this request on your behalf.

Kind regards

Patient Experience Team
