Posting here for traffic.
I was referred to gynaecology during Spring 2019 and placed onto the hysterectomy waiting list. I was advised the 18 week timescale would be missed as the surgeon had a ‘long waiting list’.
I was contacted a month ago and given a cancellation for 48 hours time which I refused, for reasons outlined within the pre-op assessment.
I was told if I refused a second date I would be taken off the waiting list. No alternative date provided.
I did not wish to complain as I am aware the pandemic has caused delays but have now contacted PALS.
Am I within my rights to request a private hospital, if this is quicker? I really do not wish to wait any longer, it’s already over 18 months.
Thanks in advance.
