"Having problems "touching base" with anyone from Ealing IAPT"

About: Ealing IAPT

(as the patient),

Nothing has happened yet.  Having problems "touching base" with anyone from Ealing IAPT! This is after my GP referral was "lost" so I had to make a self referral. I have completed the online screening and was waiting for a "telephone appointment" No one called at the appointed time and when I chased this up I was told that my telephone details were incorrect - despite the fact that they had already used my details to make telephone contact with me in order to book the "telephone appointment".  I have since received a letter asking me to make contact if I still require treatment. Very strange...

I would like to apologise for the difficulties you have experienced when trying to get in touch with us as well as the not being called when this had been previously arranged with you.
