Hospital Results: Please bear in mind that tests organised for you outside of the surgery are NOT routinely forwarded by the hospital to us. The results are given directly to the person who has requested it. If the hospital has asked you to contact the GP to find out the results please inform them that it is the responsibility of the person requesting the test to give you the results.
