An anonymous correspondent (Letters, December 13) claimed she was told she would have to wait six weeks for breast cancer tests at the Royal Sussex County Hospital.
The "14-day" rule applies to those patients whose referrals are categorised by their GPs as being urgent.
The Royal Sussex's records confirm Brighton Health Care NHS Trust is achieving this tar-get in all cases.
I would be grateful if this person would contact me directly so I can investigate whether a breach has occurred in her case.
