Declining service with phones constantly engaged

The standard of care at this surgery has noticeably declined over the years. When I first became a patient eight years ago, the service was of a high quality. However, there has been a gradual deterioration in standards since then. Issues I have experienced include delayed prescription renewals for urgent requests, a lack of compassion in interactions, difficulty reaching clinicians for follow-up discussions, unhelpful responses from front desk staff, and persistent problems getting through on the surgery telephone line, which is frequently busy or goes unanswered. My husband required a three-week hospital admission after initial assessments failed to identify a urinary tract infection, and he was advised to attend accident and emergency for further evaluation. Following a recent illness, I have been waiting over two weeks for a promised callback from a clinician. Upon recovery, I was informed there was no record of my illness on the system, despite evidence of a prescription issued during that period. These inconsistencies and communication failures represent a significant decline in the professionalism I would expect from this practice.
