Even though the Dr is concerned there is little more he can do if the neurologist will not see Mark sooner.
I feel the only other alternative will be to get him into hospital, which Mark is reluctant to do in case they transfer him to the neurology hospital which is about 45 miles away from our home.
Thanks Mrs D

Hi Buttercup
I am also in the UK and it has taken me three years since diagnosis to feel as though I am actually getting someone listening to me - I hope your experience is better but my experience is that as long as referrals meet the 12week target of being seen you then are left to get on with it. I would recommend you try your best to get Mark admitted to hospital, even if it is 45miles away.Good luck.
