"Waiting times"

About: Burnley General Hospital

The waiting times are unbelievable, today I waited over 2 and a half to be seen by the consultant after the growth scan. From personal experience and speaking to other people in the waiting room it would appear that excess waiting periods are quite common.

The staff are lovely, however clearly do not have sufficient staffing levels to meet demand.

Disappointed.
