"Poor communication"

About: Hereford County Hospital / Dermatology

Took 18 months to get an appointment after referral from GP, two were cancelled and rearranged. Follow up appointments never sent out. Very difficult to speak to the secretaries even when voicemails are left leaving no way of getting repeat prescription from the treating Dr.
