My 11 year old daughter has waited nearly 3months for a MRI scan. The appointment is in two weeks and today I received a letter changing the date. I have taken time off work and organised child care for the original date. When I telephoned the hospital today they had little sympathy and told me if I didn't wait the new date she would have to go back on the waiting list. My daughter is currently on crutches struggling to walk. In two weeks she starts secondary school and going back on the waiting list is simply not an option.
I thought children would be a priority but clearly I am wrong. Very very disappointing.
