We live in a small village in North Ayrshire. Recently the number of GPs within our practice has dropped to 1 which is putting unbearable strain on not only on the remaining GP but on the community the practice serves.
Appointments are by phone on a first come, first served basis and it quite often impossible to get through. Appointments are now generally via phone consultation and if you miss the call you have to start again.
Recently my daughter had to get blood taken but after a 40 minute wait outside the surgery (in February) she was too cold to undergo the procedure.
