"Is anybody there???"

About: East Surrey Hospital

I have been trying to contact East Surrey Hospital on their main number for the last twenty minutes. I wished to speak to the Cardiology dept. to find out why I have not received a follow up appointment following a set of cardio tests over 5 weeks ago. As the departments extension is not shown on East Surrey website I have had to wait to speak to someone on the main switchboard. The phone just rings with no one answering and then after five minutes I get cut off.

I appreciate the pressures faced by the NHS, but surely we can have someone answering the phone.

Given up for today.... life is too short...... (hopefully not shorter than I think, but only the hospital can answer that!!)
