I recently had back surgery in a private hospital, and all my out patients appointments leading up to surgery were at private clinics. I had nothing but stress from start to finish. I had appointments cancelled, slowing up the process, was given no information that I needed to know, had not one letter before surgery, to tell me anything about it, and was left waiting and waiting to be told exactly what day I was going in.Even then, I had to keep making phone calls to find out anything.I was at no time sent a letter to tell me anything, not even an admission date. I wasn't told until the afternoon before I was due to go in, that they did not accept personal cheques, and as it was quite a lot of money for the operation, I had terrible trouble trying to withdraw that amount of money out of the bank in time.
My son is having the same operation on the NHS next month. He has had a letter fully explaining EVERYTHING he needs to know, and the length of time from when he was offered the operation, to the time he is actually having surgery, is far quicker than it was for me privately.
All I can say, is that so far, his treatment from the NHS has been far better than the treatment I recieved privately.
