It is now impossible to get an appointment. I visited the surgery one day to be told that due to an update I could not book an appointment until the following day. So I made another trip the next day to be told there was a 16 day wait. In total 17 days before getting an appointment is ridiculous.
I have also discovered the tablets I have been described contain lactose and are not suitable for someone with a lactose intolerance..... which explains all my stomach problems. Because you see a different doctor every time, you are told something different every time which means there is no continuation of care.
Because I can't get a doctors appointment, I am still taking the tablets even though they are making me have lactose intolerance symptoms - I don't want the condition that I am taking them for to return.
All routine appointments are also being pushed back. Recently, many doctors retired/left and since then the service has really gone down hill.
