As things stand, they say the waiting time is likely to be the full 18 months. That means we're looking at May to start treatment. The added delight was the news the fertility centre is being contracted out, or something, so the service provider will change around April. And at the point of handover, waiting lists etc may all change. Private contractors as opposed to NHS? Or what?
Clearly this is joyous. I will probably phone them back to find out a bit more. It's unclear whether it's the administration that's being contracted out, the medical team or the whole shebang. Hopefully, the potential for disruption and even longer waiting times is a worst-case scenario, just-in-case warning. Or the changes are something we can blame David Cameron for because I enjoy that.
I don't see how a change of service provider can justify them shifting people who have been in the system for over a year onto a new playing field. But the administrative policies are so opaque, you can never be sure..... Ho hum.
There is a bit more info here
