We are aware that patients may be waiting for appointments or treatment with secondary care providers.
We advise patients to contact the care provider directly for information regarding appointments or waiting lists.
We have been receiving a very high number of requests to expedite hospital appointments and/or treatments (such as surgery). If your condition has significantly deteriorated clinically whilst you are awaiting care, your GP may be able to write to the secondary care provider requesting your appointment be expedited.
We are unable to write to secondary care providers to request expedite if your condition is clinically stable or just to decrease waiting times.
