Okay so I've recently (finally) got the green light to start HRT on the NHS after 17 months of self prescribing.
In the letter to my GP Dr Barratt from Charing X said that I should be allocated the funding for hair removal as well. But that's where that stopped. I have no idea how to go about starting to get this funding?
I have spoken to a couple of local hair removal places and they said they are unsure as well where to go and I should contact my GIC (as you all know contacting a GIC is about as effective as a chocolate teapot)
SO. Please can someone help me? I want to get underway because its already been too long.
Should I contact my GP to apply to NHS England for funding? Or should I contact NHS England myself? Or do I indeed have to attempt to contact the GIC?
Many thanks to anybody who can help me.
Kind regards
Keira
What is NHS?
Finding assistance for hair removal is a goal of mine as well. Everyone treats it as a "cosmetic" issue so my insurance and the Veterans Affairs office in the USA doesn't cover it.
Sorry I couldn't help.
National Health Service. Its a UK thing!
17 months :( That's some serious gatekeeping right there.
Welcome to the UK :P haha gatekeeping experts

They're NHS partners.
I live in the UK too, I haven't gone through the system, but it sounds pretty much broken.
