my dad has prostate cancer, and hates his current consultant, for reasons that I will detail in a later post. He is currently being treated at DOncaster, and is waiting for his CAT scan to see if it has spread to bones and all that. We would like his treatment to be transferred to weston park in sheffield, as it is a specialist cancer hospital. They are not going to ask for a transfer until after the scan as there have been some really appalling delays in his diagnosis already (for a later post too)
WHo should he ask for this to happen? WIll it delay treatment? Their GPs practice is a bit shite (may even now be run by private american company), can he ask the consultant to transfer him?
When should he ask?
