Had my test 25 November 2019 with no mention of delays, told result would be 2-3 weeks, then told Christmas post was holding it up. Have called surgery several times in last few weeks. They only admitted last week that there were delays of November results due to a change of lab but it seems from web chat that this problem has been well documented and was foreseen months ago. So why fob people off? It just causes anxiety, especially if you have had low grade positive results in the past, and makes you worry that your sample has been lost at the very least.

I had the same letter from NHS on behalf of my GP saying I hadn't even been for test yet dated 28th January 2020.

Week 11 this Monday coming, and when I spoke to surgery about the letter on 31st January I was told I would get a call back by the end of last week with a result but nothing.

No wonder people are put off from having the test.

Sorry to read you are in a similar situation but in the space of time it is taking to get results things could be in a really dire state without people knowing.  And should this be the case could any tests or treatment be to late to be of any help. It is quite scary really. I try not to let my mind run away with me but you do read these not so good things in the media from time to time....take care. Thank you for the reply.

Hello , Just wondering if you have been made aware of your test results yet ?? My surgery said I would be written to at the same time as they would be written to. Still waiting .

I was ment to have cervical screening 3 weeks to a month ago I rang my doctor to be booked in and she said that I can't have it done because of covid 19, is it something I should be worried about

I had a letter through about a week ago for my smear and I got an appointment straight away. They should allow you in for your smear test. I would call up and try again if it's something your worried about.
