Awful service

"Awful service"

About: Specialist Nursing Services / Specialist Continence Service (North)

(as a service user),

I have telephoned every day this week trying to reach a Continence Nurse. All I get is a call saying they're passing my message on, end of it just died between an inbox or outbox or whatever you want to call them but no phone calls.

I made other than one person rang me to tell me that the person I’m trying to contact only works two days per week That person was unable to tell me which two days despite me asking them five times. 

I’ve never known such disregard for another human being
