We are very sorry to hear that you have been cancelled for the third time when you came in for surgery.

We try hard to avoid cancelling patients more than once and can understand why you were so cross.

If you would like to make a complaint, please email: complaints-team@nnuh.nhs.uk or you can speak to our Patient Advice and Liaison Service on 01603 289045.
