Gynae review waiting times

"Gynae review waiting times"

About: Mater Hospital / Gynaecology

(as a service user),

I have been waiting over a year now for my ‘6 month’ gynae review appointment. I spend most days in pain and the lack of follow up appointments is taking its toll.

It’s also hard when you cannot get through to any one for an update and no contact details for consultants.

I understand encompass etc created larger waiting times as I also work in a hospital but when you’re in pain everyday you feel like you’ve been forgotten about.

Hi Endo43

My name is Paul McCarthy and I am the Service Manager for Gynaecology and Sexual Health in Belfast Trust. Regrettably our waiting times are all longer than we would wish and I would like to apologise for that. I'm also sorry that you have been unable to speak to Appointments Office to discuss waiting times and do not have the details to contact Consultants Secretaries,

If you would like to contact the Belfast Trust information at the following e-mail address I will look into for this for you:

info@belfasttrust.hscni.net

Please give your name, date of birth, address and also your Health and Care number of you have it.

I look forward to hearing for you and again please accept my apologies on the long wait and lack of communication.

Regards

Paul
