Referred by GP and on the patient choice I chose Women's hospital. I later received a letter to say I was being teansfered to StHelens as Women's Colposcopy clinic suspended.
When I telephoned hospital I was informed there was no staff as 4/5 staff were on long term absence. I said I would wait until reopens but was told dept. closed for the foreseeable and I would not be seen there. All my notes and past history is at Women's not at St Helens.
Surely this dept. could be staffed -I feel you could employ some staff rather than possibly putting extra pressure on other hospitals and force patients to go to hospitals they don't want to go to.
'patient choice' I am not being given a choice. Then I received an appointment for gynacology which was cancelled by hospital as this appointment was made in error, to then receive a letter to say I failed to attend the appointment and my GP was being informed.
No I did not fail to attend the hospital cancelled it. When calling staff only seem to listen to half my issue. Never received such a poor service from the Women's in over 20years of attend the hospital.
