My GP referred me 6 months ago, and said he believed the wait time would be about a year. This seemed extremely long to me, but seeking private diagnosis would be a major financial stretch so I accepted the wait. Yesterday I called the clinic to find out about my progress on the wait list because I am really struggling. I was told they have not seen any patients in that clinic for several months and don't know when they'll start again - in other words, I've waited 6 months already but the expected "1 year" wait time hasn't even started to elapse yet. No one has contacted me about the wait at any point, and no one will give me an estimate of how much longer it might be.
