"Disgraceful waiting times and lack of..."

About: King George Hospital

My husband was referred to this clinic by his Gp over 18 months ago, fobbed off by a consultant after a physical examination, had tests that were never followed up and appointments cancelled .

No notes or treatment plans were sent to the GP and an MRI scan was only completed after seeing a more competent doctor.

That was in early February 2016 - sat for 3 hours in the waiting room to get biopsy results and he is still waiting for an appointment to get his cancerous tumour removed.

Disgusted doesnt even begin to describe how we feel about this service.

I would be interested to know if we have just drawn the short straw in a postcode lottery.
