Hi Susan, many thanks for raising your concerns. I have spoken with the manager for the service and they have responded to confirm that Radiology is currently experiencing a backlog in reporting due to the high volume of MRI requests which this department receives.
The department is working hard on a solution to improve report turnaround times and we are prioritising all urgent scans - we apologise for the delay with your report, if you have still not received it, you may also wish to contact our PALS service at pals@srft.nhs.uk or telephone them on 0161 206 2003 so that further enquiries can be made.
Thank you for taking the time to review our services.
