Sandyford GIC has 4173 people on its waiting list. It saw between 6-24 people in the last 12 months. If this continued and you were referred today you would be waiting between 174 and 695 years. In Scotland GICs are geography based - you do not get to choose.

Mary-Ann Stephenson was very active in feminist politics in Coventry during the 2010s. I can confirm she is extremely transphobic, although she always kept her nastiest comments behind closed doors.
