A reasonable wait time for outpatient appointment which was at the Ironstone Centre. Doctor was lovely. Positives end there. Was informed I needed an urgent skin biopsy and the wait would be around 4 weeks. Contacted the company (hcrg Care Group ie Virgin Healthcare which is used by SGHDermatology) after hearing nothing for 5 weeks, and was told the expected wait would be a further 6/8 weeks. Health Auth should not be using private companies for care if this is the service they provide. If I had known I’d have asked to be referred elsewhere.
