I had a blood test at a hospital (for unrelated reasons) and it showed my TSH as 1.12 and my Free T4 as 10.2.
The haematology department wrote to my GP asking for a repeat of the tests and if they remain abnormal, to refer me to an endocrinologist.
The results came back from the GP's lab as 1.15 and 10.2. Both were marked as "Normal - no action".
So, not being able to get an appointment for six weeks, I wrote to the GP. He phoned me to say that the results were fine as far as he was concerned, but that if I wanted to see an endocrinologist, the waiting list is six months. I managed to get a private referral from him, but I am concerned about whether I should follow this up.
Any advice would be welcome.

My research into CH indicates that it is less well understood including just some underlying causes listed. I can provide links. Generally most endos seem to treat the same as primary.
My personal approach is to address the underlying cause which I believe I know in my case of potential CH (undiagnosed).
