Thank you for taking the time to post your comments.

It is encouraging to read that when you received your surgery, your experience was positive and the staff were very helpful and supportive.

However, I am sorry to read that you have been waiting for sometime now to receive a further appointment.

I wonder if talking to our PALS team would help. They can be contacted on 01924 542972 or on pals@midyorks.nhs.uk.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Kind regards

Clare Blackburn
