It's so impossible to be seen by anyone, when you need them. It's the same here. My sister-in-law is having terrible trouble at the moment. She was sent into the the public system and saw a consultant once while she was in hospital for 5 days. She now has been sent private and within 6 hours of starting a new medication, her shakes have stopped, her eye has opened and she's able to get around again. The public consultant will see her again in July. No care given at all.

I'm not seeing my rheumatologist for another 6 months, and I don't think that's too bad for me. The medication I am on manages my arthritis pretty well, I have the odd flare up but I can usually manage that with anti-inflammatories. Now my mum isn't back for 8 months either, her condition isn't under control... how can they make her wait that long?
I did ring the RA OT this morning but the OT isn't in today. The receptionist seemed really confused as to why I haven't had an appointment as she could clearly see my referral letter. It's only been 6 months since the specialist referred me....

Did you ask if you can get on the cancellation list?....sadly you sometimes have to push and push a bit more!

I'm not in a big rush so can wait, there may be people like my mum who need their help much more then me (though actually use the help they provide!!!). At least they've been reminded that I'm still waiting.

Has your Mum heard anything yet?
-
Not that I know of and apparently they never actually said they would ring her back...
