Letter: Still waiting for op after 25 weeks

Letter: I refer to the article of March 20, refering to A&E waiting times, contained within this column were a few lines saying that the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital Trust continues to achieve the 18 weeks standard for treatment referral.

Before the trust continues to pat its self on the back for a good job, I would like to point out that my wife has currently waited 25 weeks for a gall bladder operation.

We are waiting for a new date following the cancellation of her operation on Thursday March 25.

How many more patients are waiting longer than 18 weeks?
