I’m not qualified to say, but here is a little more info:

I started looking into it as a friend told me this had happened to him. To my shame I didn’t believe it could be true at first (although I’m currently on an NHS referral waiting list myself and it’s 6 months). I believe this would vary quite considerably with region and healthcare authority though.
NHS is suffering right now due to chronic underfunding, piecemeal privatisation and increasing costs of care, and long waiting lists are a symptom of all of that. Very sad. NHS standard of care is excellent in general, but performs poorly on waiting times. I’d take it over private healthcare any day though.
