"frustration"

About: Warwick Hospital

Let me put you in the picture - my daughter has Aspergers Syndrome and suffers from anxiety ....she had a cataract operation on Tuesday 17th July ....... the staff and unit were wonderful and addressed her needs - she had a GA because of her challenges in life - all went well.

She should have had a follow up telephone call the next day to check if things were going to plan and follow up appointment 6 weeks later............We have had 3 appointments now for December - on enquiring the delay I was told there was nothing sooner - I asked if my daughter could be put on the cancellation list for a nearer appointment - only to be told they did not keep one - but the cancellation appointments were used and filled - by whom - those lucky enough to be in the system at the time!!!!!!

I could phone up on the off chance ......................having worked for the NHS for a number of years I am appalled at the treatment we are receiving....... is there any answer to my frustration ????

Thank you for your feedback, unfortunately there have been some capacity issues for follow up cataract appointments. We are addressing this issue by providing additional clinics where possible to move appointments forward. All appointments are monitored using the computer system so we are able to identify and resolve problem areas for booking. If you would like to contact our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) on 01926 600054 email: pals@swft.nhs.uk they will be able to liaise with the booking team on your daughter's behalf.
