I mean, that’s really shit. I got the GP screening October '22, referral hit the mental health team November '22, I called February '23 to see where I was on the list and how long I could expect to wait. Was told I was around 750 in line, and to expect a wait of 7.5-8 years. I called November '23, I was around 735 and definitely 8 years at least, but there’s a streamline coming for the past 6 years that could make it a few months wait tops. Called November '24…730. I was only remembering to call after the first time because they’d send a letter around when they enrolled me to the wait list every year and ask if my brain had got better on it’s own, or I had managed to afford private treatment and if they could take me off the list.
