"Frustrated"

About: Pontefract General Infirmary

I had my appointment cancelled and re organized from Pinderfields to Pontefract.

The hospital was different to what I had imagined, it was clean and modern and the staff were lovely.

I visited the Gynecology Department and was treated with dignity and respect.

I was given a diagnosis which meant I needed a prescription but instead of the clinic issuing this I was told to contact my GP in about a week.

10 days later and nothing was sent through.

MY GP has said I need to chase the hospital so I rang the main number and was told I need to speak to the consultants secretary.

I was left on Hold for over 15 mins so I hung up and rang again.

I was put through again but no one answered.

Having spent 10 weeks waiting for an appointment, a further 10 days for treatment and now no answered calls or help from the department secretary I am no further on.

All I have is a diagnosis and I now need to ring my GP to discuss my condition again and hope he can figure out what treatment I should have.

I am still in a good deal of discomfort and no one is willing to help

We would be pleased to arrange for this to be investigated if the patient would like to email details to pals@midyorks.nhs.uk
