Very disappointed with my son's care

Story from nhs.uk

"Very disappointed with my son's care"

About: Royal Manchester Children's Hospital

We have been attending this hospital for the last 3 years as my son has a very serious lung condition. My son is on the waiting list to have a section of his lung removed to improve his quality of life. For the past 12 months it's been a nightmare as they have cancelled his surgery 5 times, been told week after week he has a bed then no we have beds, we've met his surgeon gone through the procedure then let down time and time again. We've been messed about at pre-ops waiting around for a blood test for 90 minutes, given stupid excuses why they can't do the surgery so enough is enough I've asked for a transfer to a different hospital so we don't have to deal manchester children's again.

It is important to us that comments are heard and seen as an opportunity provided to the service to make changes and improvements wherever possible.
