Having just moved here and had to get a referral to a psychiatrist for a close family member, I can tell you that it's more like 3 months.

If he's got a good GP, I say don't go anywhere else. Psychiatrists are so booked up, I got in for a 10 minute consultation, got a prescription written and wasn't given a follow-up appointment for 6 months! I had to get my GP to intercede because the medication I was given was causing some nasty side affects.
