Richard recently wrote to David Carter, Chief Executive at Bedford Hospital, about a deterioration in the booking service for blood tests at Gilbert Hitchcock House.
Richard Fuller MP said:
I am pleased that David has responded quickly, thoroughly and very candidly and I am hopeful that the steps he has identified will lead to significant improvements in the system.
I also welcome David's commitment to sharing a full update on the implementation and subsequent effectiveness of the measures he outlines below and I will report back when I have that review with David.
I have included David's comments in full below and I welcome constituents’ feedback in the weeks and months ahead as the improvements that David details are introduced and we can gauge their effectiveness.
