referral2paed physio

[babyjane67]

hi my lovely20month old dd was referred by gp4physio as she isnt walking yet.
that was on1st april&as yet have heard nothing about an app4her.
we have had a receipt of referral from them2wks ago saying they r discussing among the team whos best2see her&that we will be hearing from them shortly.
is this normal4it2take so long?hv thought it would be8wks max&gp4!
it will be11wks thurs since referral!
its very frustrating!!!!!!

keep phoning and asking them. I know it sounds like pestering. but if anything is wrong, then early intervention is vital for the optimal outcome.

I'm sorry Jane, your thread is very difficult for me to read.

I agree to try calling them regularly. Alternatively if you can afford it then you could always go privately?

It can take a while - we waited a couple of months for physio I think. I did phone a few times just to check they hadn't forgotten about us! Sometimes they wait for area paediatric meetings to discuss which cases will be referred to which services e.g. physio/OT/Portage etc.

Good luck - hope you don't have to wait too much longer..
