"Good care but follow ups very poor"

Thank you for providing feedback on the care you have received following a visit to our Emergency Department in March 2014. While you have stated that the inpatient care was very good, it is disappointing to hear that the subsequent follow-ups were poor. The Trust is running a scheme were appointments are made closer to their actual date. This has shown to minimise the numbers of appointments were patients fail to turn up. This may have been why you waited a while for your appointment however without more information on your individual case it is difficult to be 100% positive. Would you be willing to take up the opportunity to discuss your concerns with our staff?
