Dear Mr Rose,

I am sorry to hear of the delay you experienced with your outpatient appointment. We try as far as possible to run clinics on time and usually will only overbook these clinics at the instruction of the Clinician, to accommodate urgent referrals. Do please accept our apologies for your wait.

Linda Judge

Head of Outpatient Services
