Disappointing, they didn't contact me

I was referred by my doctor to the dermatology deparment and was told I would hear from them within 2 weeks. Over a month later I haven't heard from the hospital so I called my GP who advised I call the hospital. I called this morning and I was told that they are very busy but that I wouldn't be given an appointment until September or October. I was originally told that it possibly could be cancer so to be told I have to wait until September is not good.
