Scan and a tan.
I was, but not purely about the waiting times. The only reason I have had scans and cameras down is because I went private for a consultation, because private don't want to get rid of you as fast as possible to meet government targets, they attempt to find out whats wrong.. now thats not me making a bad comment over NHS doctors, thats me saying targets are stopping them from doing their job properly in my opinion.

Oh yes, I forgot to add. aftercare (sorry my a key is broke so no capitals as im pasting it every time!) is severely lacking due to targets like this. Once someone gets 'treated' dosn't mean they're better, and dosn't mean they wont have further problems. But they're seen less as the staff are trying to meet waiting time statistics..
