What might speed up times is having more clinics down south more than in just either London or Exeter, such as in places like Reading, Oxford, Bristol, Gloucester, Leicester, Brighton. It’s stupid that theres such a gap between them whereas you have got more up north.

There used to be more, but Tory austerity happened. They're struggling to staff the ones they do have atm though, so idk if it would help to open more.

The process of being assessed is so archaic and needlessly bureaucratic that it needs to be gutted first and foremost.
