HOSPITAL/REFERRAL WAIT TIMES

You will have heard via the media that hospital waiting times are at an all-time high

We appreciate this can be frustrating for our patients who are waiting for appointments, but unfortunately there is very little we (our practice) can do about it. Please do not contact the practice to ask that your referral is expedited unless your symptoms have become significantly worse.
