"Diagnostic Waiting Time Very Poor"

About: Dorset County Hospital

Elderly mother with severe leg ulcers.. Ultra Sound 17th April .. apparently results inconclusive .. CT scan not until 10th June !! ..well in excess of time scale suggested on this site. Meanwhile patient in constant pain and mobility deteriorating despite excellent attention from GP practice nurses. Treatment options I hope will not take as long.

Thank you for your feedback although I was very sorry to read about the long wait for mothers CT scan. I would like to be able to investigate further, if you feel able to share your experiences in more detail with us I would be grateful if you could contact our PALS service on 0800 7838058 or pals@dchft.nhs.uk. Once again, I sincerely apologise for the long delay for the Scan. I am very grateful to you for taking the time to write your review. Best wishes, Alison Tong, Director of Nursing, Dorset County Hospital
