NHS now operates "choose & book" in most areas, where the patient can choose from a number of hospitals and book it yourself via phone/internet.
Ask for the hospital details yourself, call them all up regularly and ask for cancellations or if there are any earlier times you can be squeezed in.
To add to this the NHS has over the past few years been making a lot of smaller clinics for basic orthopedic's, MRI scans, physiotherapy and things like that to ease the waiting ques at larger hospitals.
Ive been referred for lots of things this year, and everything was quick and both my MRI scan & physio were at little clinics which have sprung up only a mile or so away in different directions to where I live.
