Anyone else at TWH ready to pull their hair out? I feel

Hi folks! My GP referred me about 6 weeks ago, but I haven't heard anything back, and I'm not sure who to follow up with. Have any of you lovely people been referred recently and can tell me how long it took for that first contact to get started? I'm i
