"NHS Waiting Times"

About: Sandwell General Hospital / Cardiology

(as the patient),

I had an appointment with a Cardiologist at Sandwell Hospital in Birmingham.

They said I needed to see a more specialised Cardiologist at another Birmingham hospital. They would make me an appointment as soon as possible.

It is now nearly five months later and I'm still waiting to hear. I think this wait is too much, especially as this is a potentially life-threatening heart condition!

I am sorry to read about the delay you have experienced in waiting for an appointment.

I have passed on your feedback to the Cardiology Service Manager Lakhbir Verk, who would like to investigate this further for you. Please could you call him on 0121 507 4087 and he will assist you further. Kind regards, Elaine Newell, Chief Nurse.
