Breast screening service. Appointment times

Story from nhs.uk

"Breast screening service. Appointment times"

About: Wharfedale Hospital

I attend the breast screening service at wharfedale hospital. My appointment was for 10.45 am. When I arrived there was one other lady in the waiting room, who told me she had an appointment 10mins after mine. However she was called in before me, begging the question, why give appointment slots if they are not followed. My appointment was not on time , due to fact that it appears that if a patient turns up early they are seen first. While in room having my mammography I was not offered a gown to wear, just asked to remove everything above the waist! I felt exposed and I felt my dignity had been ignored.
