Following a GP phone call back a few weeks ago after a pharmacist wouldn't sell me anything and told me to contact my doctor , and then an immediate face-to-face consultation with GP within minutes , he said he'd refer me for treatment at the minor surgery clinic. "But it will be a couple of weeks..... "
Seems the doctors themselves aren't aware just how long the waiting lists are..
I rang this morning, several weeks later , just to check if they had actually sent out an appointment (as their systems keep picking up obsolete contact details for some reason) as not heard anything, to be told pre-covid days the waiting list was 6+ months. But these days it's more like minimum 12 months+
So not to expect to hear anything from them for a long long time yet.
Tried 2 pharmacies again this morning in the hope of buying home treatment to try in the mean time, but neither would sell it me and safest option the long wait for the minor surgery appointment

I did the sorting phone numbers and ringing this time. Last year hubby ended up accidentally booking a different place than we'd intended for the first 2 nights 
. Luckily turned out well with fantastic meals there though so booked that up again.
