Delay in bowel cancer kits

crazyH

My GP ordered one for me, when I had bowel problems, following a bout of food poisoning. Fortunately, came back negative. But the food poisoning has left me with IBS.
My kit arrived within 10 days of seeing my GP. And, results, within 2 weeks.

I have been wondering if this is still ongoing for you?
Hope you dont mind me asking.

Oh that's interesting thanks

The invitation letter is sent as it increases participation.

Mine came a couple of weeks after the letter, however, I have often wondered why that letter is sent at all?

Got minec2 weeks ago ( I'm in NW)

Mine testing kit came within couple of weeks of letter saying it was on its way. Results came back very quickly too. The actual test is also easier to do.

Got mine two weeks after they sent my letter 😊

Thanks crazyH …. I’ve usually had mine as part of the NHS programme. They are usually ok … but understand the delay is caused by increase in patient requests
