Speaking to GP at forest hill rd yesterday , told that she couldn't refer me for the CT scan that was required after the ultrasound scan I'd had was unclear.

Instead I'm being referred back to ST Thomas's where I had surgery 10 years ago.  Surgery could be linked to issue under investigation so I can see logic of this. But don't understand the clear " I can't refer for a CT "

is that the case(some?) surgeries can't refer for CT scans? Am I being dense ?

It is the case that hospitals generally do not accept direct referrals for CT scans from GPs.  The GP has to refer to a hospital specialist who can then request any further imaging that might be needed.  It's not just about cost, there are other factors involved.

It might be worth contacting PALS at King's to confirm. Maybe GP prefers hospital to interpret scan

    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
    • My initial thought was whether they would keep the East Dulwich Road site given how close they are - but then they've only just re-done it so I assume will be planning to run both. 
    • I hope witnesses are phoning 999 to report a crime in progress.
