To cut a long story short, I asked for a psych referral back in August. My GP refused, saying that he didn't think it would be of benefit. By the start of October my mental health had deteriorated quite a lot, so I asked for the referral again, and this time he agreed.
Since then I have heard nothing. I phoned and spoke to the doctor at the end of October, and he assured me the referral had gone through, but that they were very busy and my case wasn't a priority. I said I understood and agreed to wait till they got in touch.
I've since registered with a new GP and asked them to check up on the referral as I didn't want it to get lost in the system, if they sent it to my old GP and they didn't forward it.
New GP has just phoned to say they've chased it up but the referral was never done.
I'm absolutely fuming, basically I've waited 2 months (and declined other offers of help) for nothing. I know that things sometimes get missed or forgotten about, but he told me that it had already been done. AIBU to be this angry, am I just overreacting because of my MH problems? Or is this completely unacceptable in anyone's book?
