No appointments. mental/ physical health bad
I have a long term chronic health condition. I have lived in Todmorden for over 3 years, before the pandemic, and have always struggled to get an appointment. The system is broken. Appointments only available on the day do not work, especially if you have to work and have a long term on going illness that needs a lot of care! I needs dates that I can reliably take off work. I am currently pregnant and need the extra support, considering my long term illness and the effect it may have on the baby and have not once been able to see a dr face to face. My mental health has certainly deteriorated because of this. Where is the support? Something desperately needs to change. And I am not the only one, everyone I speak to in the town has had awful experiences of Tod GP.
