A grandfather he struggled with success against cancer he wasn’t pleasantly surprised when they told him he had to wait three years for a shift be hospitalized again.
Andrea Jones, 61 years oldfrom the UK, he will not be treated at Princess Royal Hospital before June 2025, he says The mirror.
Jones assumed it was a typo in the letter she received Saturday, but was horrified to find her quote correct, and now has a 31-month wait.
Confirmation of hospital appointment
The man received the confirmation days after he was told a 16-year-old boy who they wouldn’t see you for 950 days for your ‘urgent’ NHS appointment (National Health Service) for a problem related to urology.
Jones, of Bridgnorth, Shropshire, says he was stunned upon opening his letter and couldn’t figure out what he was reading.
“It’s really amazing, I knew the NHS was in a difficult state, but I didn’t think it was that bad“, expressed a Express and Stella.
“I received the letter this Saturday morning. I opened it and said to my partner ‘this must be a typographical error, it must be 2023’,” he recalled the situation.
“My partner said ‘there aren’t many things that baffle you’ but for a few minutes I was blown away,” she added.
Health service problems
Actually there are 6 million people on the waiting list for treatments such as hip and knee replacements, cataract surgery and tests. Before the pandemic, the number was 4.4 million.
The local health activist Alex Wagner said to the BBC Radio Shropshire that the matter was “surprising”.
“This is possibly the worst NHS bankruptcy case on a patient I have seen in a long time,” said the Liberal Democrat adviser.
“Ask someone to do it needs urgent care waiting three years is simply unacceptable and is a damning example of the quality of service in Shropshire.”
The Acting Deputy Director of Trust Operations, Sheila Fryersaid: “This delay is rare and we would like to make sure we do everything we can, together with partners, to reduce the time patients wait for an appointment“.
And he stated: “We recognize that current expectations are not acceptable”.
NHS England also intends to eliminate waits longer than a year and return to pre-pandemic levels of patients they have to wait more than 62 days for an urgent visit for cancer.
But the head of the National Audit Office, Gareth Davis, revealed: “There are significant risks to the delivery of the plan. The NHS copes labor shortages and inflationary pressures”.
The situation occurs within the framework where the Health Secretary Steve Barclayhad to deny having told Treasury officials that the NHS “could make it” with no money extra to cover inflation.
