I rang all morning but lines were engaged

"I rang all morning but lines were engaged"

About: New Victoria Hospital (Glasgow)

(as the patient),

The Klean prep did not agree with me. I was told they would send me out an alternative preparation along with an appointment.

When the preparation arrived they had sent me the same prep. I rang all morning but the lines were engaged on all 3 numbers.

After 3 hours I contacted the hospital twice until they got me through on another number. They arranged to send me out the prep.

Here's hoping......

I work in a small team in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde which seeks to involve patients and carers in the work of the NHS. The biggest part of my role is in managing feedback projects across the Board area, one of which is Patient Opinion. It is my job to give our patients and carers the opportunity to give us feedback, and to make sure that this is passed to the right people to help us improve the services we provide.

Dear maxinee,

Thank you for getting in touch to highlight the issues you have had getting in touch with this department and particularly the problems regarding getting the alternative prep to you. I am hoping that this aspect of your feedback has been addressed and you have the solution you need.

With regards to contacting the department, I will pass on your comments to the Head of this service to highlight this issue and determine why there have been difficulties. We will then be able to look at what we can do to improve this.

Thank you once again for taking the time to provide your feedback, it is much appreciated.

Best Wishes,

Lorna
