DD29, you need to make sure that the hospitals are corresponding between each other. Don't get stressed out over it but do make sure that you are chasing up who you need to be chasing up.
Are you getting the letter from Birmingham or are they going to be sending it straight to your current hospital? They should be doing both. But anyway chase up Birmingham for the letter, and if they say they have done it speak to the other hospital to check they have it and what are they proposing to do now they have the letter. If Birmingham hospital hasnt wrote the letter yet, better still if you know who is supposed to be writing the letter, you can find out who their medical sec is and try and speak directly to him/her. Find out when they are going to be writing the letter. If they say a couple of days. Ring in a couple of days, and so on.......That way you will feel in control of the situation and that you are doing all you can be doing. x
