One man's year and a half wait for Parkinson's diagnosis

Nearly a year and a half to wait to find out if he has Parkinson's Disease - that's the reality of what one man is having to endure. Back in October Sammy got in touch with the programme to tell Stephen his story - his doctor thinks he might have Parkinson's, but he was facing a long wait to be diagnosed. At that stage he'd already been waiting seven months to be assessed by a specialist. Here we are another three months later and Sammy has contacted us again to tell us he has received a letter to tell him he will have to wait 70 weeks before he is seen.
