A 16-year-old boy with a urology complaint is set to wait 950 days to see a consultant.
The letter received by the Shropshire family shows the teenager will have to wait until 2025 for an appointmentThe teenager from Bayston Hill, Shropshire, has been sent a letter from Princess Royal Hospital offering him an appointment for 25 June 2025.
The Liberal Democrat councillor, who sits on Shropshire Council, said: "This is possibly the worst case of the NHS backlog failing a patient that I have seen in a long time. Mr Wagner says the teenager is not alone and several people living in the county have faced a similar problem with appointment delays.
In a statement issued by the Shrewsbury & Telford NHS Trust , the cause of the delay was attributed to "recruitment challenges" along with "significant pressure" caused by Covid-19.
