My husband went in for planned urology surgery recently at Raigmore. Cancelled as no post op beds. In summary - 6 months wait for a diagnosis, supposedly 12 week wait for surgery (breached end of August) and a further 15 weeks wait until recently, and then cancelled. Process – delay, delay, delay.
Outcome – off work for 12 months, no surgery, emergency admission for pain control 4 weeks ago and no future plan. Clinical staff were brilliant, but the system is a mess. What needs to happen to get the needed care?
