"Contacting the Opthamology Department"

About: Stoke Mandeville Hospital

I agree with the other reviews on this site. Trying to find a telephone number that someone answers is impossible. My mother is 83 and on 2nd April 2014 was referred to this department from High Wycombe Hospital. We have still not had an appointment two months later. I have telephoned High Wycombe who two weeks ago told me that a member of staff was there from Stoke Mandeville and would ensure that an appointment was sent out as soon as possible and another two weeks later still nothing. I now intend writing to them to lodge a complaint.
