This is for those in the UK who have no chance financially of going private who are having to go through the NHS.

How long was you or have you been kept waiting before your very first contact with the NHS after your GP signed you to their list?

Hi Wishy

Waiting times for NHS treatment vary greatly depending upon which area you live in. In some areas you will be refered to a gender clinic very quickly, in others over 10 years.The NHS operates a minimum 2 year RLE and you will again need to live in the right area to get funding for surgery. Wales and Sheffield seem to be among the worst areas.

Sorry I can't tell you anything more positive than that.

I've been waiting for years.  No sign that it will ever happen so I have no choice but to finance my GRS myself.
The laws of God, the laws of man, He may keep that will and can; Not I. Let God and man decree Laws for themselves and not for me; And if my ways are not as theirs Let them mind their own affairs. - A. E. Housman

Is moving on paper (just changing the records + mail forwarding with some friend) a possible solution?

well... call it sheffield... call it rotherham. A lot of places refer Rotherham as a sheffield area cos we're so close. I'm like a mile away from Meadowhell. And i work part time at Gamestation in Rotherham
