I just remember being flabbergasted when I was younger, moved from Lanarkshire to Dundee, only to discover I was still on the same waiting list!

Had to move to England to get a reasonable wait time/ accidentally end up with a GP willing to do bridging care, it just insanity

And my cis friends all have a bizarre unwavering view that the NHS will fix it in the end 🙃

Step one imo (and it’s nowhere near enough) is to force the GPs hands and make bridging care standard practice (because informed consent would just be too much to ask)

Absolutely second this!

And we have to wonder why Dundee is in the Sandyford catchment… Madness that the Sandyford covers such a wide swath while Edinburghs lists look to be 2 years or so
