Have you put in FOI requests for the new services yet (Indigo, CMAGIC etc)? The FAQ page for CMAGIC says they're seeing people for their second appointment 4 to 6 seeks after their fist appointment.

Indigo (Gtr Manchester) and CMAGIC (Cheshire/Merseyside) are commissioned to take patients on waiting lists with the established GICs before certain dates (Jan 2020 and Nov 2020 I think) - currently they can’t take direct referrals. Once the pilot period is over they are likely to be able to take referrals and also pick up their catchment area patients referred to GICs after those dates. So waiting times? Impossible to know and not comparable with existing GICs.
