DH had his appointment this morning supposedly for SA, but as he's military he's found out that he now needs to be referred into the NHS, and as his unit is based near Bristol - it will be the Bristol NHS he has to go through.
Problem is, we've been told that unlike our home area (North Wales), which you pretty much swing by the unit when you are ready with a docs letter and sample, you need to wait for them to contact you with an appointment, which can take up to 3 months and for us that is also a severe issue as hubby remote works and travels a lot and is only in Bristol 2 days a fortnight. He doesn't get to plan his days in and isn't really up for explaining to his superiors that he has this particular test planned.
Just wondering if anyone else has gone through the Bristol NHS system for SA, whether you found the system to be of this style (its entirely possible the stupid military doc has his underpants in a twist - they aren't the most switched on of creatures) and how long it took?
Has anyone ever waited 3 months for SA?
I'm wondering now if its worth going private?
Thanks....appreciate any info xx
