2 1/2 week wait for a blood test

In April I had a fasting blood test but had to wait 2.5 weeks for a morning appointment at 8.25. 2 members of staff were on duty with one on holiday but one was having to help people with the computer meaning that only one was taking blood. Why not have one computer for booking appointments and one for checking in as the queues can be quite long. It doesn't work having walk in appointments as they seem to clash but you have to have some walk ins avaiable as waiting times when you try to book it can be 2 weeks or more.
