Hi, we're sorry to hear you've had a disappointing experience, and you're right it's not acceptable that staff didn't keep you well informed about any delays. If you contact our PALS team (Patient advice and liaison service) on 0800 953 0667 or pals@ghnt.nhs.uk they can look into it for you and help us improve our service for other patients as well.
