You will get an appointment

You may need to persuade for an appointment but generally you will get one. The automated system does work well, however, you're unlikely to be able to get an appointment with your named GP. It can feel that there is more of a barrier than there needs to be. When trying to book blood tests we are often told that we could go to Ipswich for it to be done instead. Getting around locally for my mum is difficult, the extra time involved is too much just for a blood test.
