    I have been waiting since the 15th December. I think it probably depends partly on where you live. I know that here in Devon the waiting list is long as we only have one specialist physio at my hospital.
    I hope you get your appointment through soon

    Gosh! Dec that's a long time to wait. It does depend on where you live. I asked my Rhuemy for a referral on 30th Jan and physio rang me on 2nd Feb to make an appointment. Although my stupid Rhuemy had put down on the form that I wanted it on my foot. When in fact it's my shoulders and neck!! Now I have to wait for him to do a new form but generally it's done within a week.

    Hi, My G.P told me waiting times to see Consultants at the Alex hospital (Redditch, Worcestershire) is 5 - 8 weeks. She told me that on Friday 3rd Febuary. As I asked her what would be the waiting times to see the Nummey I had been told about. So that's the waiting times in Redditch.

    Hi,
    I live in the north east about 60 miles south of Hileena and I had to wait 22 weeks to see a physio.
    Yet yesterday my daughter was told it would be 20 weeks to see a rheumy and got an appointment next month.
    To me its anyones guess and also I suppose how many staff are employed for each section.
    Good luck and I hope you don't have to wait too long. May
