A teenager who was referred for hospital checks has been given an appointment by a scandal-hit NHS trust – in June 2025.
The boy's father said he was astonished after Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) confirmed that the date in the letter was not a typing error.
His 16-year-old son was referred to the hospital trust for assessment of a urology-related problem – but will be 18 when the day of his appointment comes around in 951 days.
SaTH, where the NHS's worst maternity scandal took place in which 201 babies and nine mothers died over two decades, has apologised and said it recognises 'that the current waits are not acceptable'.
