Confusing service with frustrating communication delays

I'm perplexed by the current operations of this medical practice, where they implement new systems but the reception staff appear untrained in their use. I receive text messages claiming attempted contact, yet there are no corresponding missed calls on my phone. When appointments are finally secured - often after waiting over three weeks - blood tests are conducted, and the hospital promptly notifies me of results the same day (which is excellent service). However, when I contact the surgery days later, I'm informed they haven't yet reviewed the results and I must wait for the locum doctor who initially saw me to follow up, which will be the following week. Upon requesting another GP to review the results, I'm told this isn't possible and am instead directed to consult with clinical pharmacists, with a telephone consultation scheduled two weeks out. I'm thoroughly unimpressed. It has taken well over a month to reach this point, and the matter remains unresolved. Why does this practice rely so heavily on locum doctors who only work intermittently here?
