"Patient Participation Group (PPG)!"

A few days ago I received a telephone call from a lady apparently employed by the company who wanted to confirm my interest to join the PPG and asked whether I would be available to attend the first meeting to be held on 23/4/2024 at 6:00 pm at the practice. I agreed to join the meeting but had a brief conversation on the current poor services provided by the new company since it took over last year and told her that the reviews left by the patients reflect widely their frustration and unhappiness. However if the company is serious to to take into account the suggestions to improve their services I would be happy to join the group. She then said that I should receive a message or e-mail soon about further details. Yesterday I received a message saying "please be advised that applications to join the PPG are now closed ,as all membership vacancies have been filled." What a joke, as if I applied for a job but failed to get it! Perhaps I was too critical about the company's poor services in my recent reviews/comments that made me ineligible to be a member of the PPG.
