Home visits arranged but follow-up bloods never happened

My husband recently spent time as an inpatient at a local hospital and upon discharge, a healthcare professional visited him at home and provided excellent support and assistance, including arranging for blood tests to be conducted at our residence. However, difficulties arose when follow-up blood tests were requested. Since my husband is currently unable to leave the house, we were informed that the tests would be carried out on one of two specific dates in late July. I made contact with the relevant department on three separate occasions to enquire about the delay, and was assured that someone would investigate and return my call. Unfortunately, this did not happen. I decided to contact the phlebotomy service directly and was informed that my husband had not been scheduled for the repeat blood tests. The service provider previously demonstrated efficiency and responsiveness, but I have noticed a decline in their performance following recent organisational changes. I am concerned that phone enquiries from older patients are now experiencing longer wait times and reduced attention. It feels as though we have become viewed as a burden because we are less comfortable with modern digital systems. While ageing is a natural part of life, it is disheartening to feel that our needs are being deprioritised.
