"extremely poor communication"

About: Burnley General Hospital / Pain Management

very poor service received by pain management services, promised call back but never happened. I have tried calling on no of occasions but staff do not listen & kept repeating what was written on the computer screen like robots. this is after the fact I clearly explained that I had requested to postpone the appointment but regardless of my explanation everything felt on deaf ears. There is much more I would like to add but do not have confidence so I would not like to waste anymore of my time. I will be requesting my G.P I am referred to another hospital as I have just wasted 4 months & only wasted money & time visiting the hospital without any results to show for my visits to the department.
