"Struggling to get to speak to GP"

About: Glenlyn Medical Centre

(as the patient),

For the past two weeks I have been trying to contact the surgery to ask for an x-ray referral as I can never get an appointment.  It is 8.30 am.  I tried, again, to ask reception a question, evidently they  reached capacity.  If there is a way to book a GP appointment on line I have yet to find it.  This is appalling.  We don't all have time to wait on the phone and the receptionist appears to decide whether I need to see a GP or not without passing my request through for the GP to decide.

We are told not to go to A&E unless our problem is urgent.  My problem is getting worse.  I know my body.  I need an x-ray.  Looks like I will have to worry the overrun A&E department at Kingston Hospital.

Is there no authority overseeing this surgery ? I feel the service just gets worse.

I am angry and frustrated. 

Why is their time more important than mine?
