Message: <blockquote data-quote="sarahlou03" data-source="post: 1341245" data-attributes="member: 46918">My husband is ex-RN as a result of the defence cuts back in 2012. He has since re-applied back in September 2015 (for a different branch) and completed the medicals and waited and waited and chased it up and chased it up. The blockage is with Capita. RN are waiting for GP notes in order to process the recruitment and Capita have to request them from the GP which they haven't.He's contacting the RN every 2 weeks who say give it another 2 weeks and he's also phoning GP who say they still haven't had the request.He's tried to contact Capita directly but they have been told not to deal with recruits.I get the threads that say if you want the job wait it out - ok fair enough but for an ex-forces recruit with no poor service? Fortunately he's in a decent job however could have taken other opportunities whilst waiting for this process. Equally there are more than capable and competent recruits who in the time of waiting for these processes will have been offered other opportunities.From an outsider I can't believe that any organisation commission a service that clearly isn;t efficient. Surely they must have performance related targets associated with the contract and from reading threads from over the years Capita clearly don;t have a handle on processing the medicals. They must have lost the armed forces a number of recruits It's also a concern due to his age - at this rate he may even miss out on getting in as he'd be too old to rejoin.*Is there any other way to speed the process up?*Can he just ask his GP for medical notes and forward directly to RN, miss out Capita? Or even forward to Capita (although I'd be concerned about forwarded anything confidential and personal to them)Any useful advice would be welcomeTIA</blockquote>
