Difficult to book appointments through repeated calls

Visiting the surgery to book an appointment, I was advised to telephone the following day. When I called at opening time the next morning, I was informed that all slots were fully booked and was asked to try again the day after. It feels rather like trying to win a lottery rather than accessing healthcare. My overall experience with this practice has been consistently disappointing. On a previous occasion, it took a week for documentation to be processed following a handover from another healthcare provider, despite the matter being flagged as time-sensitive. I contacted the practice daily and was repeatedly told to call back the next day. I have concerns about how patient information is handled and feel the practice lacks attentiveness to patient needs. Regarding complaints, there appears to be no clear management structure or designated person to speak with, as the same telephone line is used for both appointments and complaints. Additionally, calls to the complaints line tend to be disconnected. Overall, I believe this practice warrants closer scrutiny of its operations and procedures.
