Not much better than Finland it seems.
At least from first referral to first meeting is only few months, but from there on, everything is always months away. Then there's about year and half of useless bullshit and wondering "are you serious enough", then another year at least after diagnosis to get SRS referrals, two of them, time between them again months. Interestingly, I'm only now in about a month getting my first meeting at the hormone clinic, I'm in the way to the vocal chord surgery first, I thought it might turn out to be the first actual treatment I'm going to get but I might get some help wth HRT first.
So that means that first meeting that might result in actual treatment is about three yeras from the first referral being sent and almost one year from getting diagnosed. To SRS its more than four years since first referral if nothing more goes wrong.
These waiting times are ridiculous, but what makes ours last for ages is the time between each meeting, even the ones which are done remotely and apparently a lot of this is total idle time which is forced in by deisgn.
If I hadn't done my HRT on my own, I would still be at day zero. Same with laser, same with surgery stuff. Its ridiculous and it seems almost all of Europe is closely the same.
