However, if you can afford to pay for it and get it done quicker, that is the route I would take. I don't wait well Good luck to you!
Welcome to the forum too!
The hospital billed my insurance company $87,000.00!!!! All I paid (thanks to insurance) was $250.00 for the hospital admittance. If you have paid into the insurance, take it!!! As for the wait time, I am sorry, but I am not familiar with the systems in the UK - Jules might be able to help you though
