ENT clinic

Story from nhs.uk

"ENT clinic"

About: Royal Preston Hospital

I endorse the comment of a previous person. The ENT clinic operation is a farce people due in at 11am being seen before those for 1015 etc Long unnecessary waiting arrogant nurses unhelpful medics. NHS says it costs if appointments are not kept perhaps they will pay me for wasting half a day from my consultancy business to be dealt with 90 minutes late in ENT and when the consultation lasts less than 2 minutes
