Additional messages submitted to the 'Haredi line' complaint channel describe lengthy waits not only at ADHD clinics but also at other Clalit services, with one family calling the recent treatment "below any standard" after over 20 years as members, according to the forwarded reports.
New messages submitted to the Haredi patient complaint line today continue to detail service problems at Clalit Health Services. One patient who switched from an ADHD clinic to another clinic received an appointment within the same week, suggesting the backlog is not uniform but still severe in specific departments. Another correspondent, describing themselves as an extended family with over 20 years of Clalit membership, wrote: "Such disrespect recently — as if they're saying 'thank you that we even bother with you at all.' The waiting times and phone response are beneath any criticism."
As The Zioneer reported earlier today (Tue 09:27), the Haredi line had already received complaints about phone service and ADHD clinic waits. A recent CBS report (Sun Jul 5) found that one in three Israelis waited over a month for a specialist appointment, but the current complaints are firsthand accounts and have not been independently corroborated by statistical data or an official Clalit response.
