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
