Waiting times

"Waiting times"

About: University Hospital Hairmyres / Neurology University Hospital Hairmyres / Rheumatology

(as a service user),

Seen neurology consultant in August 21 and was getting referred for an MRI scan. Was told my appointment would be sent out by post.

This was over 3 Months ago and I'm still waiting.  In constant pain and just want this appointment in so I can find out what is wrong with me.

I've heard other people are getting scans within 2 weeks which aren't urgent. I understand that hospitals are under enormous pressure. A letter to say I'm on waiting list would be good. I'm also on waiting list for rheumatology which has a referral from my GP over a year ago, and still waiting for that appointment too.
