1. Review titled Delays

   by Maidmente - Posted on 04 April 2024

   In autumn 2023 I asked to see my GP for a referral to see a hospital eye consultant to get a CVI certificate. The RNIB said this was the only way to get a certificate since the government had stopped GPS & social Services issuing them. I actually saw the GP on 2nd Jan 2034 & was referred to Queens hospital. I was told there was a 12 week wait; but Evolution only started to make my booking on 8th Feb 2024. By mid April I’m still waiting to hear when I will be seen for this certification which I need to run my daily life now that my sight is so Impaired. I cannot use screens without huge difficulty & getting severe headaches if I try, yet every aspect of life demands that you do everything on line these days. Even the eye clinics don’t get it when you can’t receive emails & can’t do everything on line!!!! My delay of 14 weeks is too long - especially since the government or NHS England stopped GPS from issuing these CVI forms and made us all now have to go through hospital Ophthalmic consults instead.( pushing their serious eye conditions to one side whilst their consultants were asked to do CVI certificates - which should be more of an administrative task) Once again, the NHS is asking private companies to do work in a haphazard and less efficient way regarding this CVI particular process. It used to be managed efficiently but is no longer managed effectively and in a way that helps those whose sight loss is significant. My daily life is worsened because of not getting the CVI in a timely manner. It is a pattern I’ve seen elsewhere in the NHS too. Private sector companies who make significant profit out of health needs of the UK population just aren’t wanted by the public. It is a waste of public money.
