After 2 years of weight management at UHCW my surgeon applied for funding to my PCT which is Northampton. I had an email today saying that for 2012/13 they do not commision funding for bariatric surgery at UHCW NHS trust. Contract disscusions are currently taking place for 2013/14 but will not be agreed till end of April 2013. My options are to A be reffered to one of the providers contracted by my PCT for the surgery, or B wait till 2013/14 and see what happens.
My question is, who is supposed to refer me to another provider, and how would i find out what providers my PCT has a contract with.
