Access to health is my main priority. Nelson Hospital is way behind in many aspects, however the staff are wonderful when I finally get past the waiting lists. tww

An MRI has been requested by my specialist to be done within four weeks, but on inquiry I was told this has been delayed to a six month wait. I was also told my left shoulder should be replaced and he indicated this should be completed by this December. I have a letter that says this is now a 12 month delay. Extra staff are being processed, however I have yet to see any improvement.
