Oh dear. Not helpful, it is? I had a routine appointment on Tuesday with the gp which I'd had to fight for - I have an annual blood test and medication review for a chronic condition. As I have been *very* ill in the past, I am not happy to just ring in for the results and not see the gp. I had to plead to book the appointment and it was three weeks before they had one available. Sitting in the waiting room at 8.30 am I could hear the receptionists telling people there was no appointment available that day and directing them to e.g. phone the emergency duty midwife at the local hospital. It was actually quite scary that the system is under so much pressure, and clearly failing people who needed their gp.
