"Appalling booking / referral system"

About: Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust

1) on july 15th I had an appointment at huddersfield royal at 1015. At 0920 I got a call saying it was cancelled. At 1010 another call saying it was un-cancelled!

2) at 1630 on the 15th a call saying appointment rearranged for august 1st, but to ignore confirmation letter, as appointment cancelled. Appointment finally rearranged for 21st.

3) on 23rd july I got letter dated the18th saying appointment cancelled, but no details of which one. I called to find out which appointment, and was told that it

was for the 15th - the letter posted three days after the cancelled appointment date!

This system is a complete disgraceful inexcusable, shambles wasting an enormous amount of people’s time and resources. No wonder the health service is in such a mess. For goodness sake sort it out.

Dear patient

Thank you for your feedback and I'm sorry to read about your experiences.

My name is Jacqui and I work in our Trust communications team. If you are happy to do so, please send a little more information to our Patient Advice Team, who can look into this with a view to improving the service for others. Without the extra detail we'll not be able to drill down further, so it would really help.

You can email them at PatientAdvice@cht.nhs.uk

Thank you for your patience and apologies again.

Jacqui
