My GP sent a referral to the Royal London hospital's antenatal care when I was at 10 weeks. I was told to call the hospital in a week to check for the appointment. When I called, the antenatal care administration said that they could not find my referral, despite a delivery note that had been sent to my GP. I had to call my GP to send another referral.
I called again the next day, and the hospital administration could not find referral again. I had to go my GP's office, pick up the referral, and personally take it over to the reception of the antenatal ward.
At the hospital, there was a bit of confusion about my appointment. At first, a new appointment was going to be booked. Later, it turned out that an appointment had already been made for me, so I took the original appointment. My address on the letter was incorrect, even though the GP has my correct address. I am concerned that the hospital is disorganised and will lose my files/data.
