Length of referral waiting time.

I need a hip replacement and my mobility is getting worse but because I have eczema on my leg they won't operate. I've always had eczema and have now been referred to see a consultant dermatologist at the hospital but the waiting time is 14 weeks. I won't get my hip done for sometime!
