Many thanks for all the replies. I am now in the process of gathering my information to progress my complaint. I'm not really hopeful of a positive response as it seems health care in my area is more than lacking for all the wrong reasons. The NHS is truly broken in the Blackpool Fylde area

This is my rant against the Health Authorities who guide over Blackpool Victoria Teaching Hospital. Being a type 1 diabetic since 17 (now 55) I have been seen by consultants as regular as 3 times a year up till 2 years ago - this changed to once a year in 2017. Since then I have only seen my...
