On the day appointment
Getting an 'on the day' appointment is very difficult and when you do you wait more than 30 minutes (today its 40 minutes). In the past I have used the phone upstairs as there is a message up saying 'call if more than 20 minutes wait', but reception are so rude about it, so I do not do that anymore. So I do not see the point of having the sign up, if they are just going to be horrible about it. We are overrun at this surgery and my understanding is that only one GP covers 'on the day' appointments when we have 5 full time ones, I feel that the balance is not there.
