Biopsy Lab taking forever, lack of staff/resources...

"Biopsy Lab taking forever, lack of staff/resources..."

About: Royal Cornwall Hospital (Treliske)

Anything else?

I've been in pain for over 2 months I had an endoscopy on the 1st August where tissue sample were taken. My consultant has been chasing for them and marked them as urgent but apparently there's a back log. I'm sorry but I'm suffering every day and can't get the treatment I need because some lab department don't have the resource to examine my biopsy samples. Over 2 weeks is just unacceptable
