Can’t get appointments

For the past 2 years average appointment wait times (assuming you are able to get through on the phone) are 4 weeks! Last year I found a lump and even though I told reception staff this, it was not treated as urgent. I was told to go to a walk in clinic if I was worried! Even when I did get to see a doctor I first had to go for blood tests then book back in again and had to wait another month for the second appointment. I ended up going for a scan and fortunately it was not cancer but can you imagine if it had been. Recently having failed to get through on the phone, I went on line and the next available appointment was 2 months! So out of desperation I booked it! People are going to die anyone with lumps or in pain should be given priority. I was speaking to someone who is always given priority. I asked how and they said they just play up on their mental health issues! So tell them you are feeling sad and you get seen same day: Say you are worried you have cancer and you get told to wait a month.
