I am sorry that you had such a long wait and poor experience when you attended the hospital. I have passed your comments to the senior staff responsible for the assessment unit so that they are aware of your concerns. If you are able to contact our PALS office with more information about your experience, I will be happy to ensure that the circumstances are fully investigated. Our PALS office may be contacted by telephone on 020 8401 3210 or by email at ch-tr.pals@nhs.net. The office is open during the week from 9am to 4:45pm.
