Very let down.

Story from nhs.uk

"Very let down."

About: Furness General Hospital

Anything else?

Saw a doctor at the end of November 2011, had an MRI scan in December and received results of sort 14th February 2012 ! It has all taken far too long and now I learn that the doctor no longer attends Furness Hospital. I have had to go back to my GP and obtain another referral. The whole process has taken months, I feel now that I'm back at square one and my condition is exactly the same now as it was in November.
