We have been informed by NHS E in GM that the date of referral is not the date written on the form but is the date you submit through to the referral online and is non-negotiable. If referrals are not submitted in time that is the responsibility of the referring dentist so could you please ensure you submit your referrals as soon as possible as backdating a referral will not be accepted by the central referral system.
