Wait for Urgent Appointment - no support

"Wait for Urgent Appointment - no support"

About: Hull Royal Infirmary / Neurosurgery

(as a service user),

I am waiting for an urgent neurosurgery appointment. Got through on number given after 45 minutes. Can't give me an update as they don't have that info. Transferred to another number 10 minutes later to be asked why I'm ringing that number! Explained I was transferred. Was told they can't help me, but amounts for urgent are about a month wait. Its been 7 weeks now. Was told it could be August, they can't tell me more.
