That is terrible. Before retiring I worked for the health department of the Welsh Government and your situation confirms that the health service in Wales is better than in England. If someone in your situation complained the Minister would write to the Chair of the Health Board (drafted by an official such as myself) requesting an explanation and assurances it would not happen in the future.Dr Bunsen Honeydew wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2018 11:31 am Well NHS 111 thinks it is not important. They refuse to let me go to a hospital without seeing my GP first for a letter, so knowing me I said sod you I am going to AE anyway, to be told they would send me away and they have registered my details so I will be blocked access to AE.
It takes about a week to get an appointment at my local doctor and a couple of months for Hospital appointment.
Hope you are well soon and no rush with my TIS order.
