Answer 5

Try contacting the specialist or the department - send an e-mail if possible, with profuse apologies. The normal procedure on the NHS is that you go back to your GP for a referral all over again and you go right to the back of the queue, so if you can get on their good side, so much the better. Tell them you are worried it is getting worse, if you are particularly anxious - they would be hard pressed to ignore you.
