Having the Paeds Consultant on our side from when the twins were about 5 really turned things around, but different departments hold different budgets and were always trying to put off appointments made by him. He fought on our side, but 2 departments Podology/Orthotics and Physiotherapy were always trying to pass us from one to the other which caused chaos and heartache.

Now the Child Mental Health people have tried to pass my daughter onto the GP, but he is having none of it as her meds can only be prescribed whilst under the care of a pyschiatrist. Or so he says.

At times I wished we were eligible for a Social Worker... that shows how desperate we became!!!
