"Refused appointment for child with breathing…"

On hold from 8am to 9.20 to be told there are no appointments and the best they can do is book something next week - for a 5 year old with breathing difficulties for the 4th time in 6 months. Awful service, awful attitude, told to find a walk-in! Yet again having to rely on 111 to obtain an appointment at the hospital and get the medication required to help my son breathe. Apparently not over-subscribed or under-staffed, just unable to offer emergency appointments for children!
