Thank you for that Chris - and the worst thing is that the majority of those allergy specialists are based in the southern England - so if you live north of Birmingham, Wales or Scotland allergists are unbelievably rare. Which is why most people that treat allergies in the UK are actually immunologists and not allergists.
This report is a classic British fudge - lots of recommendations but no money to back it up or more resources!

The TV version went on to say that there are only 38 allergy
specialists in the UK to cover the approximate 19 million people who
suffer from allergies.
Cheers,
