"Repeat prescription difficulties"

About: Outwood Park Medical Centre

Prescription line is always busy, ive rung multiple times over multiple days and its always busy. Yet the phone line is only actually open 9-12, this does not accommodate working people also if it was open longer then im sure there wouldnt be such a busy line and you would be able to order prescriptions needed. Even when rang the surgeries reception and explain politely that i was having trouble getting through and now my son was desperate and needed his adhd meds ordering asap. The receptionist snootily replied phone in the morning !! So not only did she not listen to my problem she still told me to phone in the morning or drop his repeat slip in the box outside. This was not helpfull what so ever !!! why can i not order a repeat prescription at any time during the surgeries hours !?

Dear Ms Noble

Thank you for the feedback regarding your experience of our prescription line.

Further to my call with you today we agreed that your experience was not great for which I apologised. Although the prescription line is often very busy we can and do help patients when they come through to reception and I am sorry this did not happen on this occasion.

We spoke about having on-line access as a proxy for your sons and I have sent you the relevant form as agreed. This will enable you to order repeat medication at any time of the day which will hopefully make the process much easier for you and your family.
