Just found this forum. I had my smear test 11 weeks ago and at the time was told results would be at least two months. On two months I was then told the results would not be until round about the 14th February and then not a guaranteed date. So now approaching 3 months and I am thinking what a terrible service this is for myself and many other people.
In the meantime I have recieved a letter with no contact details from NHS Cancer Support (or similar , letter not to hand at the moment) telling me since I was invited to have a smear test I have not done so !!! . Tried to make contact with them and was an automated service saying they could not discuss smear tests due to data protection etc and to contact my GP, this letter was dated the 7th February 2020 and stated it had been sent on behalf of my GP. My smear test was done on the 22nd November 2019.
Contacted the surgery and was told disregard the letter we know you have had your smear test done and are just waiting for the results. Ok but what if my smear test sample has been lost in the system so to speak ??
You would think that with all the campaigns to get these tests carried out that the service would be better.
APOLOGIES IF THIS POST IS IN THE WRONG PLACE
