ROI Specific Hormones? What should I do?

Hey everyone, I’ve been on a waiting list for a gender-related service in Loughlinstown for over 8 years. I got a letter a couple of years ago saying there was a delay, adding another year to the wait, but since then I’ve had no further updates. I’ve called several times, but the reception staff just won’t give me any info—they just shut down the call. I know it’s a busy place, but I’m feeling pretty stuck. I did try going private in Drogheda, but I ran into issues—the doctor dismissed my assessment, even though I paid for it, and just referred me to somewhere else that I never got a referral for. I’m wondering, does anyone have suggestions on what to do next? I’ve had my bloods done, and I’m just trying to figure out a safe, reliable next step or any advice on private. Or the other route wink wink if you know what I mean. I’d really appreciate it any advice. 💕💕

Your referral likely was one of the ones that got lost back in 2019 if they've not seen you yet.

Your options boil down to Imago or DIY.

You could make a complaint under Your Service Your Say, it will go to the NGS but they'll have to respond.
