"waiting list"

About: Hull Royal Infirmary / Neurology

I went to GP with blurred vision and dizziness after heart surgery and was refered to Hull and East Yorkshire hospitals mid Novemebr 2018.

After setting up account with refereals no appointment date was given and after 18 weeks (waiting time allocated) when I phoned referals they said basically it was tough I just had to wait.

I waited another long number or weeks and when I phoned again I was told I just had to wait or have GP upgrade need,

GP upgraded and 2 month later still nothing so I go back to GP because symptons are getting worse.

GP gets appointment but guess what it isn't until 12th July so that will be 8 months exactly from referal?

So please ignore timescales advertised in their paperwork it doesn't mean anything and ensure your GP upgrades THE LEVEL OF SERIOUSNESS RIGHT FROM THE START.

Situation is diabolical to say the least
