Inability to get a GP consultation.
Having had an anual review and blood tests I received a text message from Doctor O'leary to contact the surgery to make an appointment to discuss some irregularities with the tests. I contacted the surgery on the 16th of March requesting a call back from a GP only to be told that the earliest call back would be the 21st of April. 5 weeks later !!. When I protested at the length of time I was bluntly told that this was the earliest. I know of many people who have had exactly the same problems of getting appointments within 3 or 4 weeks, even after A&E visits and being told they must see their GP quickly. Getting past reception with this surgeries reception is an absolute nightmare.
