Something should be done to sort out these delays

"Something should be done to sort out these delays"

About: Telford referral and quality service (TRAQS) The Princess Royal Hospital / Ophthalmology

(as a service user),

The initial set up through TRAQs was very smooth. My appointment was for 1: 50pm on 27/3/13 but it was 3: 15pm before I got in to see the consultant.

However, he was extremely thorough and explained everything in detail. I do however feel something should be done to sort out these delays in appointments.

I am sorry that you faced a delay at your appointment. Sometimes these are unavoidable (in which case often we need to do more to explain that there will be a delay and the reasons for this) but there are definitely actions we can take and are taking to reduce avoidable delays. Thank you for sharing this with us.
