"Parkinson's Care -'We dont have capacity'"

About: Chase Farm Hospital / Neurology

My Mum has Parkinson's and was seen by the same consultant every year for a few years. Now she has not been seen for nearly 3 years as she has been unwell or hospitalized when appointment was due.Then she was sent an appointment for January 2019. We attended and my mum was so hopeful for some care and support as her condition has worsened . The doctor we saw was not her consultant fine but we told we were lucky as the neurology department does not have capacity'???? It was a box ticking perfunctory appointment. Then the letter that followed the appointment was in accurate,and the drug change suggested Mums GP had questions about. Now we are waiting as the GP has contacted the department and NO Response. Her July appointment has been canceled as well! I am so upset for mum the lack of care is so disappointing.

Hello

Thank you for taking time to leave a review on NHS Choices, first off please pass my apologies to your mum as the care you describe falls below the standards we set ourselves.

It is hard for me to help out with the available information in the review but please contact our PALS team so they can help, you can reach then on Tel: 020 8216 4924 or email: bcfpals@nhs.net Explain you have been on NHS Choices and I asked you to contact them.

With Kind Regards

Richard
