Difficult to get through on phone

Very busy and even getting through on the phone is extremely difficult. Throughout the day the phone isn't answered. This morning took nearly 40 minutes to get through but I did get a doctor's appointment. To wait three days for an appointment when you're not well isn't great and I wasn't offered a GP+ appointment or call back . Staff can be a little sharp or unfriendly once they've said there are no appointments available and they just finish the call.
