I self-referred to the physiotherapy department under urgent referral, as per my midwife and GP's instruction, when i was roughly 24 weeks pregnant for painful hips. I was struggling to walk due to this and was in a great deal of pain. I was told the waiting time was around 6 weeks. Unfortunately i only just received my letter through to attend physio, my baby was born 6 weeks ago. That was over 21 weeks i have been waiting to hear back from the physiotherapy department. I had to pay privately for my physio, and luckily since i've had my baby my pain is resolving. I am bringing this to your attention to try and stop this happening to other people, especially those who aren't in a financial position to pay privately for physio.
