3 weeks and still waiting for new medication!

Story from nhs.uk

"3 weeks and still waiting for new medication!"

About: Hull Royal Infirmary

Saw a neurologist on 27th August 2014 who said I need to try beta blockers for migraines. I'm lucky if I get a headache once a month, anyways, was told he'd wright to my GP requesting I give them a go. My GP will not prescribe them until they have received a letter from neurologist asking him to do so. It's now 17th September 2014 and my GP still has no letter...3 bluming weeks I'm still waiting, I can not believe it takes this long to send a letter by email to my GP!!!!!! Laugh a minute, good job I'm not holding my breath
