Poor communications and continuity of care
Communication is poor. Information from the hospital is limited when fed back via the surgery. The continuity of care for an older person is important and this doesn't happen. Getting to see someone is difficult but once you do they are generally good. On one occasion a GP was due to visit but they never arrived and no one called to cancel. There have been times when the waits are 3 weeks; even to have a phone consultation was 2.5 weeks
