I have concluded (yet again) that NHS communications is very bad. My speech
therapy sessions were cancelled out of the blue (no reasons given). When I tried to
email the address given it bounced ("not recognised"). So I tried another email address given
on their website and again this bounced ("not recognised").
Also, I found out today of
someone awaiting a rearranged chemo session for cancer who was asked to phone first but
for a whole hour the phone was not answered! The appointment the previous day was cancelled as "everyone has gone home". Sorry but NHS communications is
unbelievably poor. Nobody takes ownership. Frankly it is CRAP.
The NHS needs to smarten up its
communications. If this was the private sector, there would be ownership (individual responsibility) and someone would be sacked if things did not improve.
Every day, the NHS probably throws away millions of unnecessary pounds. The sheer waste is staggering.
I believe in the NHS but get very frustrated by the evident inefficiency.
