"Still waiting not sure how long a referral takes "

My 14 year old son fractured his hip playing football in October. We attended the fracture clinic & the doctor who saw him put a referral in to physio. We had a follow up appointment New Year’s Eve 2024 & the doctor asked my son how he was getting on with his physio he said he hadn’t had any the doctor was surprised asked if I had received a letter or any communication about how long the waiting list was I said no so he put in another referral. End of January I chased with my doctor who said they cound not contact the physio dept as my son was under the hospital fracture clinic so I rang them - they said a referral had been put in & I had to wait. I asked if I could contact the physio dept myself but told a doctor had to do the chasing & referrals & that had been done & to wait. It’s now February my son being a teenager & as the doctor said wait 6weeks from New Year’s Eve before being active & participating in sports has been counting down everyday & told me he wants to go back to play football & basketball & do PE again at school (as he’s doing it for his GCSE) & he’s worried about falling behind & becoming unhealthy not doing any activity. Not sure if there could be a better way to acknowledge if people are on a waiting list - even if a long wait so you know you have not been lost in the system or how long the wait may be.
