Excessive time to wait

Posted By Alsu

"Excessive time to wait"

About: Victoria Infirmary / Cardiology

(as the patient),

I have been waiting for 16 weeks for a cardiology appointment after being referred by my doctor. Surely this is an excessive time to wait?

I work in a small team in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde which seeks to involve patients and carers in the work of the NHS. The biggest part of my role is in managing feedback projects across the Board area, one of which is Patient Opinion. It is my job to give our patients and carers the opportunity to give us feedback, and to make sure that this is passed to the right people to help us improve the services we provide.

Dear Alsu,

Thanks for highlighting this - your GP would be able to check on this for you, so if you haven't already I would get in touch with your doctor first of all. Alternatively, if you get in touch with me directly with some of your personal information we can have a look at this for you - my email address is lorna.gray@ggc.scot.nhs.uk.

Thanks,

Lorna
