Normal for GP to wait almost a week before sending the referral?

Called breast clinic today to make sure they had my new address to find that they haven’t even had a referral through for me?! Called GP and the receptionist said “oh, we have it here and are sending it out today”. Is it normal for them to wait almost a week before even sending it in? I can’t really see me getting seen within two weeks like the GP said.

Finally got my appointment date. It’s not until the 2nd June though! That will be 6 weeks from when i went to my doctors until then!! These past few weeks have dragged on and now i have to wait another 4 weeks!! So much for the doctor saying i will be seen within 2 weeks!
