I lucked out - was on the wait list just before covid, and seemingly covid stopped the tests and worked through the waitlist instead.

I was diagnosed and prescribed after waiting 1.5 years. Now it seems people are expected to wait over double that.

No wonder there has been a boom in private healthcare diagnosis

My 2 year wait was over a decade ago, so looong before covid. The fact that things are worse now isn't really surprising considering the service is now basically a hollowed out carcass with several hundred private firms picking it apart..
