In early 2019, I was referred to Fiona Stanley Hospital outpatient department for a consultation with a neurologist following nerve damage suffered during an operation in late 2018.
I was placed on the waiting list and did not hear anything further. I checked after a year or so and there was no change. I checked again in late 2021 and was advised that my GP would need to send a new referral to request the priority of my referral be increased, which they did. I advised at the time this was requested that I had been waiting 2 years and 6 months for an appointment and was assured that this was completely normal.
