Bigotry, reliance on unsupported 'facts', unkindness, unfairness.
I think one year is about average - I am registered with a consultant and see them once a year.

You’re fortunate. I used to be registered with a Consultant but am now to seek advice from the surgery’s DSN: I’ve not seen a Consultant since 2019, though I did have a phone consultation with him in 2021. He’s very good. By the time the awaiting period has passed it’ll be three years since I saw one.

Oddly, mine was meant to call me a weeks back.. sent a letter, 3 email reminders, 3 NHS no reply texts.

I put time aside to wait for the call…. Non event.
