Elderly parents suffer from prescription negligence nightmare

UPDATE 1: The subpar repeat prescription service persists and has now reached an unacceptable low. My elderly parents (78 & 88), who rely on daily medication, have been without their essential drugs for two weeks, now entering the third week. The breakdown in communication between the surgery and the pharmacy in Meadway Precinct (recently changing from Boots to Lloyds, with an unreliable contact number) has completely failed to provide the care my parents have rightfully earned through decades of national insurance contributions. It's absolutely disgraceful. I support my parents with their medical needs and have consistently found this surgery incompetent in managing appointment bookings and repeat prescriptions for over five years. Despite numerous attempts to provide clear information and highlight previous service failures, we continually face delivery problems, incorrect orders, missing items, poor communication, and appointment scheduling errors. Often, staff are unable to recall or locate notes for scheduled appointments. The surgery has historically experienced high staff turnover, with frequent changes at the front desk. This constant rotation of unfamiliar faces can be deeply unsettling for my parents, as they encounter staff who appear rushed, uncertain, and lacking confidence in their roles and procedures. This has been my overall experience with the practice. However, I have noticed some improvement in staff stability during my last two visits over the past three months.
