6 months wait to learn result of mri

Story from nhs.uk

"6 months wait to learn result of mri"

About: St Bartholomew's Hospital

My daughter had an mri to .try to decide why she was having seizures.This took place on 28 th January and has been given an appointment for July! Surely nobody should wait 6 months to learn the results of such an urgent examination. From this test a decision was going to be made regarding medication for the severe headaches she is experiencing.So six months no result OF MRI no medication! My daughter now has loss the power of speech but she is still not classed as urgent. I ring appointments regularly for a concellation. This is so stressful and such a poor service. Does anyone read these reviews! Can anyone help?
