Dear Lenny, Thank you for taking the time to post your comment. We are really sorry to hear how difficult it has been for your husband to get an appointment and that it was cancelled. This is not the level of care we expect our patients to receive. I would like investigate your concerns further so we can improve our service for future patients. If you are happy for me to do so, please could you send your husband’s details (name, address, patient number and date of birth) to Martin.Watts@uhl-tr.nhs.uk. Kind regards, Martin Watts, Service Manager for Ophthalmology Leicester’s Hospitals
