LabelOutpatient reasonable wait days[back] :Q445
Question text Now suppose your GP referred you to a hospital out-patients' department about a back problem that had been bothering you for a while but was not stopping you from doing the things you normally do. How long do you think it would be reasonable to have to wait for an appointment at a hospital outpatients' department about a problem like this? Please give me your answer in days, weeks, or months.
