Suppose it depends on which specialist you need to see, as to how long you have to wait for an appointment.
Back in May my husband needed an M.R.I. scan. The doctor and receptionist said that appointment for that could take 6/7 months?  My husband was in a lot of pain, could hardly walk, stand or even lie down bed.
The doctor did make an appointment to see a specialist though, which was for 20th. July, but was cancelled until 31st. October!
Meanwhile he has paid for an M.R.I. scan to be done privately, and also paid to see a private specialist.
He is now on medication, and awaits a further hospital appointment, for advice, and possibly surgery.
Maybe we should have gone to A&E, back in May, that way he would  have been attended to, had the scan, given correct medication and advice etc. and would not had to pay either.
