Due to social distancing and increased time for cleaning, all appointment times have increased which will have an impact on wait for scan. Patients will be offered one appointment. If they can’t attend that one they will be offered a further appointment. If they refuse the second appointment, it will be cancelled and they will be re-referred back to their referrer and/or consultant.
