"waiting time to get appiontment to see my GP"

About: Tameside and Glossop PCT

(as the patient),

whenever I ring my practice there are never any appointments for at least 5 working days - it's 7 if you ring on a Friday! By the time my appointment comes up I have either gone to A+E at my local hospital, which in my opinion is putting pressure on the Hospital or found a walk in centre.

My last problem was a kidney infection, I managed to wait until the day before my GP appointment but the pain was to bad I went to A+E. Good job they had to keep me in it had got that bad, which I feel was made worse because of the waiting.
