Dyslexic patient's online booking nightmare

This new online booking system is an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. With my dyslexia and poor internet connection, I'm forced to call, but the wait times are 30-60 minutes. When I finally get through, I'm just told to book online, which feels incredibly lazy and dismissive. Even my elderly mother can't manage online bookings. If something isn't broken, why change it? This is undoubtedly the worst decision they've made. I bet they haven't reduced reception staff despite not answering phones anymore - they shouldn't even be needed! BRING BACK THE OLD SYSTEM. Today, I tried to order my disabled wife's medication and couldn't get an answer for over an hour. When I went to the surgery, I was shocked to find reception staff just chatting and ignoring the phone. I'm filing a complaint with the ombudsman and have all the evidence to prove how dysfunctional this surgery has become. Another update: they've now mandated that EVERYONE must order prescriptions online. What about people like my grandmother and mother who can't do this due to lack of internet access? This is the most ridiculous policy I've ever encountered, and I'm certain no other surgery does this. I'd switch doctors in a heartbeat, but being disabled, this is my closest option. I sincerely hope they reconsider and revert to the previous system.
