Hello all, I spoke to my consultant and he advised that he is doing a pump start up form for me to receive a pump. My question is how long after that form has been done will it take for me to get a pump? Any help would be great thanks
 
Unfortunately, you may as well be asking how long is a piece of string. Some people get a pump within a couple of months and others have taken nearly a year.

I recommend asking your consultant.
They may also be able to tell you which pumps your CCG provides so that you can do some research and, if there is more than one, decide hat you preference is.

Thanks you, we have already decided on a pump and he has advised it is covered. It only went in last week but my consultant is retiring and passing me on to a different consultant so I was just wondering how long the process could take.

Once my decision got approved by a consultant I got my pump quickly from the manufacturers of both my pumps
