Southmead Hospital in Bristol had one of the worst waiting times in the UK in June and July.
Caroline White says she is feeling "worried and stressed" as she waits for an appointmentA hospital in Bristol has one of the worst waiting times in the country for women with suspected gynaecological cancer.NHS data shows that in June, 2% of such patients were seen at Southmead Hospital within two weeks - which is the government target.
NHS data shows that over the past year to July, less than half of women were seen after referral within the two-week target, with other hospitals in the west performing better. In July, Southmead was significantly worse than other hospitals in the region seeing only 4% of women in time. "We're working hard to improve our performance to ensure that everyone with suspected cancer who needs diagnostic tests is not only seen rapidly but gets their results as quickly as possible.
The only trust in the country with a worse figure in July at 2% was University Hospitals Dorset, which takes patients from south Wiltshire.
