"Waiting for respiratory test results"

About: Gartnavel General Hospital

(as the patient),

My doctor sent a letter at end of January to the respiratory Gartnavel general hospital Glasgow.

I got an appointment to see them, they said I was to get a sleep test done again and also nap tests as I have uncontrolled sleep apnoea that they don't know what the cause is.

I got the test done a few months later, I was told the test can take up to 10 weeks to get the result. I have been in contact with their secretary who said a few weeks ago that I should get an answer hope fully last week. I have now been waiting 16 weeks for the results.

This has now been 10 months from my first doctors appointment and still no appointment or results of my tests.

Dear Hendo

Thank you for taking the time to post on Patient Opinion. I am sorry to read that you have not yet received your results after being told it would take up to 10 weeks. I would like to look into this a little further for you. So that I can do that, could you please email me at Lisa.Ramsay@ggc.scot.nhs.uk with some personal details.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes
Lisa
