I am sorry you feel this has set you back with your treatment. So we can understand what happened we would need to know your details e.g. your name and date of birth or CHI number. If you would like us to look into this, please contact me on 01563 826222 or email me on eunice.goodwin@aapct.scot.nhs.uk.
