I am currently on a trial for Alzheimer's, the importance of which I am assured you are aware. To complete this trial, which will be of assistance to many consumers, I need to undertake a sleep study. This study was booked for this month.
I now find I am compromised and this has been canceled due to, as I understand it, the shortness of staff. In fact, I understand the unit has been closed for a fortnight
In my opinion, this is appalling as the current list is already long.
I believe the staff member who phoned me was being severely harassed by irate consumers (like me) who have been informed that their appointments (which I believe they had waited many months for) were cancelled.
I must congratulate the staff member who contacted me for her professionalism and courtesy which, under the circumstances, I think would have been sorely pressed.
I understand that at this stage no one is sure when the unit will be reopening!
As I am currently on a trial, I believe this now means that I have now compromised the Alzheimer's trial.
