"18 months and still waiting!"

About: Manchester Royal Eye Hospital

I have been waiting 18 months for squint surgery and I am still in the dark about the exact procedure due to always seeing a different consultant each time attend, resulting in very different opinions. How can you make someone sign a consent form and accept a list of possible procedural errors when you can't even tell them what the procedure will be! I have had quite a few wasted trips at my expense and suffered long waiting times, resulting in £15 car park bills. I still don't know when surgery will be and I doubt if they do either. I've never felt so let down, so much so that i'm thinking its safer and far less stressful to live with my problems.

Ms H Bateman, Matron at MREH was very sorry to receive your comments and concerns via the NHS Choices website about your anticipated surgery date at the Eye Hospital. We take all issues surrounding patient care and communication very seriously. However, it is very difficult to respond to the concerns you have raised without being able to investigate in detail. To do this we would need more information. If you contact our Patient Advice and Liaison Service on 0161 276 8686 or by e-mailing pals@cmft.nhs.uk they will be happy to discuss this with you and liaise with the relevant department at the Eye Hospital.
