Dermatology - St. Marys Hospital

Story from nhs.uk

"Dermatology - St. Marys Hospital"

About: Queen Alexandra Hospital

Saw GP in June 2015. Referred to Dermatology for BCC. Eventually seen at St. Marys in Oct 2015 and referred for Mohs surgery. I was told it was a 3 month waiting list - but I have just found out that I won't be seen until June 2016 - that's 8 months ! - and a year since I first saw my GP for referral.

Is this an acceptable level for cancer treatment - partucularlywhen I have paid into the system all my life ? In the meantime my BCC is getting worse.

Unacceptable Service.
