I know in U.K. the nhs are under massive stress a aging population with many health needs which cost time money and our G P s are also under pressure to keep to their practice budgets. I feel that this means lots must wait lots must go through the less costly treatment route before it goes to the next level of seeing specialist etc. I just prob need to be more patience in this process. Few of us can afford the private medical road for answers or possible treatment. I have to say this does frustrate me, but think lots of people consider private treatment to get seen quicker to get answers etc. Over all the nhs does provide a quality service if have the resources to do that the attitude and manner of staff is also great in my personal experience.

Perhaps you might consider putting pressure on your local MP to consider putting more resources into the NHS? Or becoming an advocate for RA - you can do this through NRAS.
