How long for a paed refferal?

[scienceteachermum]

Does anyone know if there is an official maximum time you have to wait for a paed referral? DS2 been referred for reflux issues and had appointment for 25th may but its been cancelled, changed to a diff hospital and they don't have any appointments until JULY! Is there a tiem limit on these things?

blimey, that's terrible! if it has been cancelled you ought to be top of the list. i'd be creating merry hell if i were you

how long have you been waiting so far? can your GP push for a quicker appt?

we were referred last week. I think its basically been put back because they have changed us to a different hospital. But there is no way on this earth we are waiting until july!

For a routine referral the time limit is 18 weeks.

no way!

That is the standard NHS waiting time limit for a routine referral.
Have you tried contacting the hospital to ask about cancellations?
