Hi

Write to the chief exec of the hospital you're attending and make it known in the letter you are copying in the care quality comission. Don't email, actually write and send the letter royal mail signed for service.

Put in the letter facts to date, such as:

This is a suspected cancer case

You have been put on a 2 week pathway

Who told you 20 week wait and when you were told

You've been to pals to no avail

Point out the obligations under the guidelines and NHS constitution.

Etc etc.

The squeaky hinge, gets the oil !!!

Very best of luck to you.

Thank you. Yes I will do that too. Icb have 7 days to come back to me and my mp has written to the hospital chief exec. I have to do everything I can. Thanks for replying x

Absolutely unbelievable, get onto Ombudsman of your local health board too and mention the NICE guidelines,good luck x

I know. I just feel so helpless. I've read all the nhs guidelines and max waiting times - but no one seems able to enforce them. If icb can't help then next step is the ombudsman xx
