"When will my operation ever happen?"

About: Northern General Hospital

What could be improved

What a load of poor quality info contained on this site!

My example - been waiting for knee replacement at Sheffield Northern General for 30 weeks, and still no sign of an operation,

I have been told that it 'could' be more than 40 weeks!

Yet on the waiting time page for this op at the Northern General, it says 12 weeks! Complete rubbish - which they admit when you phone them up to query.

You can keep your 'Constitutions' and 'Frameworks' - the reality is that the NHS is a law unto itself, very poorly run and answerable to no-one.

It just annoys me that this website can pass made up rubbish off as fact!

My advice to anyone finding this site, is don't bother - there is little on here that is factually correct
