HOSPITAL/REFERRAL WAIT TIMES

You will have heard via the media that hospital waiting times are at an all-time high.

Sussex hospitals are in exactly this position.

We appreciate this can be frustrating for our patients who are waiting for appointments, but unfortunately there is very little the surgery can do about it.

Please do not contact the practice to ask that your referral is expedited unless there has been a genuine change in your circumstances. By this we mean your symptoms have become significantly worse.

Thank you for your understanding.
