Impossible to make appointments
Impossible to make appointments with GP. Phone battle 8am by 8:45 still held in queue caller no 26, answered 8:50 sorry no appointments left! No appointments available on line this week or in the future. Several life long chronic illness need to report physical problems! Most morning phone battles after 1 or 2 hours hanging results in cut off! GPS change medication, telling me to make an appointment to go through triage & speak to a GP!! Unable to do so. Why hasn't the GP phoned me to discuss BEFORE altering. I dint know any GP at this practice all now seem to be locums. All 7000+ patients on their books have paid into the system, GPS are paid for that number of patients - why ? They are neglecting & avoiding treating their patients. Worse still GPS are causing mental health issues for their patients with physical problems, the elderly, people with young children many being forced to go to A&E, which i was told to do by a cold, offensive receptionist, could have been just a conversation with a GP!! Thousands of us being put at risk & no doubt many have died as a result of GP negligence - not the pandemic!
