I lived in York for most of my life... Leeds is pritty bad SI treatment wise... then again I got fairly bad treatment in York hospital too made complaints several times after been refused treatment and passing out in the waiting room and things a few times, so glad to hear that that's improved since I left (3 years ago)
I'd advise you go back to York hospital and speak to someone about it.
but I do think Animad is correct, skin grafts and stitches are 2 very different things... even for none SI things they will sometimes refuse to do what is essentially plastic surgery on people who don't cohere to certain guidelines... And rightly or wrongly many doctors have had negative experiances of SIers not looking after wounds or re-opening things that they have spent time an dmoney reparing and these experiances will tend to have a negative impact on their veiw of SIers in general (my brain die half way through that so I hope it made sense...)
however, even if they refused skin grafts I would have expected/hoped that they would have offered alternative treatment
