Appointment system changes made booking harder

I'm quite frustrated with the recent changes to how appointments are managed at the surgery. The new system seems to have made things more complicated rather than simpler. The process now requires logging in online and going through a triage section where you have to provide information about yourself, even though your medical records are already on file. After that, you're waiting for someone to contact you to arrange a telephone appointment. In practice, this means you're essentially on standby all day waiting for a call from whichever clinician becomes available, with no set time. This creates a real problem for those of us who need to use our phones during the working day, as you're expected to keep your line free and be available whenever they decide to ring.
