Why do Hosptals give the same time to about 30 patients for Outpatients Clinic.
My sister brought her 85 year old father-in-law to an out patients clinic for a check up. His appointment was for 10 a.m. It was 3 hours later before he saw the doctor. My sister was talking to some of the other patients waiting and they all seemed to have appointments for 10 a.m.. This was an Outpatients clinic and not A&E.
She herself attended Breast Check the day before. Her appointment was for 3.30p.m.. She arrived at 3.20p.m. was brought in and was finished at 3.45p.m.. Why cannot the Hospital run a similar system.
