I was referred by my GP to the Dermatology Department of my local hospital on 7th August last year as "urgent".  I went back to my GP in November about something else and mentioned that I had still no appointment with Dermatology. He sent a further urgent reminder. Having heard nothing by February this year, I called and was told that the "urgent " cases from January 2024, were just being called and that, realistically, I could expect to wait another 7 months from now. Is this the same across the country?
