Busy phones
The phones are very busy and it can be up to an hours wait in the mornings. When I got through I was asked to go on to econsult but I don't have an internet enabled phone so if I'm out I can't see and respond to them contacting me so I have to call to arrange appointments. Call backs with doctors have worked to address the issues I've had and I have had actual appointments too. I just find that it is a much more drawn out process and is especially more difficult if you work but are trying to get a non urgent issue sorted out. Econsult is turned off first thing any way so its not really an option.
