I was referred by my GP at the end of November and given information of the TRAQS system. Having heard nothing a week later I rang TRAQS to enquire on status. They advised they had only received notification of my case in the last few days. The explanation provided was likely a delay at GPs secretarial team. I was asked to allow further time into the middle of the following week. I had heard nothing by the Wednesday and therefore rang TRAQS the next day. I was then offered an appointment at Shrewsbury Royal Hospital for just before Christmas. This was convenient and accepted. No other choices were offered but this was not a problem to me. As an aside the treatment at Shrewsbury Clinic and pre-operative assessment was excellent.
