"Declined surgery as too risk adverse"

About: Priory Hospital

Cancelled appointment x3 after choosing due to shortest waiting list eventually seen and planned for surgery but anaesthetist has declined to even see and assess me due to past medical history ... I think this is just ignorant and avoiding any risk or additional cost of time spent reading my history ... I think you cherry pick patients with minor issues and low cost high profit surgery rather than fair practice in the use of nhs funding very disappointed this has delayed a refer to a responsible provider by nearly 3 months thank you for wasting my time

We do have to follow specific criteria as set by the CCG, and are very sorry your appointment was cancelled three times. We hope you now have a surgery date sorted.

Kind regards,
