I phoned the Crosshouse Hospital to cancel my appointment in March but I’m not convinced the person I spoke to appreciated or understood the point I was trying to make. Also, this appointment should have been a year ago.
I live in Girvan and have previously had appointments to see Sister Audrey Anderson at the Ayr Hospital. These appointments were fine; this nurse was perceptive to my needs and had more time than any consultants. However, the appointments all changed a year past November when I was in Ayr Hospital.
There is no reason why someone from South Ayrshire should have to travel to Crosshouse in Kilmarnock when there are perfectly good hospitals in Ayr and Girvan. I haven’t yet spoken to my GP to see if he can help in getting a more local appointment.
