Slow to walk

DS is 18 months and has hit all milestones apart from the walking! He's a high speed bum shuffler so I guess has not had the urge to walk yet.
This week has seen a massive developmental leap. He's pulling to stand and just starting to cruise the furniture. (Never crawled)
I'm not concerned as I now feel he's on the cusp of doing it and will get there in his own time but the HV is really on my back about it and wants referral to a community paediatrician (which I think is a waste of time as he is so nearly there)
Question for you lovely ladies ...
Is there any one who has been in this situation? How long before pulling up/cruising to walking? Shall I tell HV to back off?
Thanks in advance.

Mine pulled up almost as soon as he started crawling at around 8 months then cruised happily for ages until he walked at 14 months.
