The last time I asked that, I had to wait 6 months for an appointment. Is there any other way to get to see one quicker? I do not mind if I have to pay as I am getting desperate to find some relief.
Yes ask for a private referral that should get you seen within days then you can ask to go back on NHS
I've done it myself when my wife was ill and got to see a specialist the next day cost around £100 but certainly jumped the queue, and was treated on the NHS
But you should never have to wait 6'months for an appointment
