How long

[Akasha]

Did people have to wait to find out if funding for a pump has been approved?

My consultant confirmed on 4th July to apply for the funding for me. and Nurse confirmed on 15th that the application had actually been sent.

I'm just getting impatient now!!

Hi Akasha,

I have no idea - the funding for mine was already available. But I'm sure shiv will respond next time she signs in.

Just wanted to say I hope you get it soon, really got my fingers crossed for you!

Ring your PCT, ask to speak to whoever deals with pump funding, and ask them 🙂 they should be able to confirm if they have received it or not.

If they say yes they have received it, ask them to confirm in writing to your DSN/consultant ASAP as your long term health is suffering the longer you are without a pump. Make sure they CC you in to their response.

If they haven't, ring your consultant's secretary and ask them to send it again and make sure they CC you a copy! They should do that anyway.
