"Not good enough for a service we expect"

You’ll find a long queue on the phones - mine was 80 minutes this morning. There won’t be any appointments. Two doctors working today. Remember the days when there was a full compliment of doctors? The list on the wall? They’ll recommend the pharmacy. If you go to the pharmacy you’ll find the health centre car park empty, the doctors spaces empty and the waiting room with maybe the odd one or two person on the few seats they have left (they’ve removed most of the waiting room seating, obviously don’t feel a need for it). The pharmacy felt I needed to see a doctor. I went to Fleetwood walk in centre. 35 min drive. No parking, took me 15 mins to find a space in town and a further 15 mins to walk there. I don’t get paid when I’m

not working and I pay an awful lot of NI and tax. I agree with previous review - the system is designed to make it as difficult as possible to see a doctor. This is not a service. It’s designed to put you off attempting to seek the help you expect and have paid for.
