Complete waste of my time and NHS time

Story from nhs.uk

"Complete waste of my time and NHS time"

About: Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust - Queen's Medical Centre Campus

Attended for an MRI scan to be told that they couldn't do half of the scans because I had eye make up on and I would have to come back another time. This was not on the letter I was sent and I was not told whilst I was sat in reception during the 45 minute delay when I could have removed it or during the questionnaire I went through with the radiologist! Not only is this a complete waste of my time and another NHS appointment but could lead to a delay in diagnoses. It is no wonder the NHS is in the state that it is. Please could someone contact me as I wish to make a formal complaint.
