At Clare's insistence today, I contacted the hospital colorectal specialist department to which I was first referred to enquire if my GP's requests for an urgent consultation had been received. No luck there, although I did exist on their system. Apparently the lead consultant Lt Col Davies whom I saw is away in Oman on exercises with his regiment at the moment, so any requests would have been passed on to other members of the team.
I was referred back to our GP surgery for information on the destination of their booking requests. It seems each department administers its own booking and I was given a contact number at UHW Heath. Eventually I got through the lady who administers the team of colorectal surgeons whose head saw me originally. I asked her what the wait time for an appointment was likely to be, and while interrogating the system she noticed what she called "A rare cancellation" in next Wednesday's schedule, and immediately booked me in. What luck!
