Dear Callie

I am sorry to hear you have experienced difficulties accessing our services, and I would welcome the chance to talk to you to resolve this issue.

Please telephone me on 0121 466 7128 with your personal details so that I can work with the Dental Hospital to arrange an appointment as soon as possible.

Your feedback about NHS 111 is also appreciated and we will discuss how your call was handled with NHS111 once we have more information from you about when you called and the information given.

I look forward to hearing from you

Kind regards
