Some information regarding our service (this is from recent comments on facebook)

1) Our waiting list – we know we cannot please everyone, but this was created in an aid to stop patients from having to ring up regularly for routine appointments (previously, we used to say, the appointments are not on yet so try ringing back in XX days or weeks). This is new and we will keep try...
