"Appointments"

About: Sandwell General Hospital

I went on the web sight to cancel my appointment I thought it had gone through.

I waited for a new appointment.

2 weeks later had not had the appointment so I phoned to be told that I had not cancelled it and i had been discharged.

I have been going to the ent department for over 30 years I have sat waiting for upto 5 hours to be seen.

when people have been going mad I have talked to them explaining that these things happen in emergencies you could wait a long time.

I have calmed people down from getting aggressive

Because I missed the appointment I have been discharged after 30 yrs I think this is disgraceful I have worked all my life paid all my taxes lost money to be treated like this well the NHS as gone down in my opinion.

Thank you for posting your comment. If you could send me your details (name and preferably hospital number) as well as the date you cancelled the appointment online I will ask a colleague to look into this and see what has gone wrong. Please email me on tobylewis@nhs.net so that we can investigate. I am sorry for the confusion. Toby Lewis, Chief Executive
