"Costly errors"

We have been waiting for over 4 years for Broomfield’s treatment. They rejected my husband's referral as they allegedly only accept fertility referrals under the woman’s name. This is after being told the waitlist was 18months before we could chase up. At the 18months I was finally told the referral was rejected within the month of receipt. A new referral then went in under my name. Which could have been done 18 months prior if we were informed.

We gave up waiting for NHS IVF treatment and went private.

After 3 failed attempt I was referred last year for endometriosis testing at Broomfield hospital. 

I Finally received an appointment in February and was assured I’d have the treatment within 2 months.

At this consultation I advised that I was going abroad for IVF in April and it was definitely going to be 2 months I would postpone the trip until June, it was reconfirm 2 months. We paid to move the trip back.  

My pre-op assessment was completed. The hospital called in April to book the assessment in. After advising that this was already completed I was told it’s going to be another 2-3 months from the call in April.

It’s disgraceful. My husband and I are going abroad in June after moving this for IVF so need my appointment within the agreed timeframe meaning

I’ve tried contacting the PALs team and the gynaecology team direct resolution. 

Not only is this error from Broomfield hospital costing us thousands in lost trip costs, it’s taking such a toll on my health.
