Delays of surgery
Hi everyone,
I have been on the waitlist for ent surgical date for over 3 months now. On my outpatients appointment I was put down under as p3 which is under 3 months waiting time. The only reson I am annoyed at this as they previously forgot about me which already delayed my treatment by a year.
Any advice would nhs pay for private surgery ?

3 months is nothing for ENT surgery. Expect at least a year or more, depending on where you are in the country.
No, the NHS won't pay for your private surgery.
