[QUOTE="Claire007, post: 1421214, member: 184290"] My hospital did exactly the same [USER=324327]@Julian_Hands[/USER] They sent me the follow up prompt letter with the consultant before I'd actually started! I phoned up and went through a right old rigmarole! Me:' I've received a letter asking me to make an appointment within 7 days. Receptionist: I can't book an appointment for you, you're not due until July 2017, it's too far in advance. Me: that's the follow up appointment, I haven't actually started pump therapy yet nor had an appointment Receptionist: I can't book you your pump appointment. Me: that's ok, but the letter says I'll be removed from the list if I don't make an appointment. Receptionist ' I guarantee that won't happen 7 days later: 'you have not responded to our letter asking you to be booked in to see your consultant, we presume you no longer want to access our services and have removed you from our list.' Me' :bigtears::banghead::bigtears::banghead::bigtears::banghead::bigtears::banghead: It all came good in the end as you know from my other thread, I started yesterday. Whether I'm still in the system for a consultant follow up in July, who knows? But I have my pump :) [/QUOTE]
