Sounds like a half arsed approach.

This is just from the first leaflet they've sent, apparently they will
send more info in a couple of months, if I choose to go ahead

I really cant see you getting adequate bowel clearance in that time

They do say allow for up to half a day from start to finish

and without proper clearance they cant do a proper scope. Where is
this happening?

Thinking about, you probably are having a less invasive procedure, namely
sigmoidoscopy rather than full colonoscopy. Lower bowel prep is
appropriate for that. I jumped to conclusions.
