An anomaly that needs sorting.

DD has just returned from a doctor’s appointment with her son. The doctor is an exceptionally good one but told DD something surprising. DGS has two referrals to different specialisms and has been waiting over a year for both. He told DD that he would chase them up because DS hits 16 in three months and then hits a strange zone when he is too old for child services but too young for adult ones! This just seems unbelievable but I do trust him.

I know from friends with severely disabled children that they can fall down various cracks in late teen years due to different institutes operating under different definitions of Child/Adult. It’s very difficult for them.

Nothing surprises me any more with regard to our National Health “Service” 😪
