Concerned about length of time between referrals and action

"Concerned about length of time between referrals and action"

About: County Hospital Louth / General medicine County Hospital Louth / Physiotherapy

(as a service user),

Ongoing story over around 4 years. Initially dizziness and falls off my bicycle. Referred to Care Of The Elderly, subsequently ENT, Neurologist, MRI scan, carotid artery checks, echo cardiographer, physiotherapy. 

Outcomes feel more positive but I am very concerned about the length of time between referrals and action. Also the expectation that I am happy to take long round trips for what can be very short verbal consultations. My experience of the doctors i have seen has been exceptionally positive.
