We apologise if you feel the service we provide in this area is below your standards. We have installed an new telephone system in keeping with requests from all patients. This entails a patient queuing system and a call back service. We received 100's of telephone calls every morning and we provide a full bank of care navigators to answer those calls. However demand can sometimes outweigh the resource. As patients can now access many ways to contact the surgery hopefully the telephone demand will reduce in time.
