Endless calls for test results reveal healthcare nightmare

I'm restricted to calling for test results only between 1pm and 3pm, which I understand. However, I've now made 57 attempts (and I've been tracking meticulously due to past frustrations) where 55 calls resulted in engaged lines. On the two occasions I did connect, I selected option 6 on the call menu, only to have the line ring endlessly. Fortunately, working from home allows me to persistently redial, and these 57 attempts have spanned 90 minutes. When I finally got through, I was informed the results were still with the doctor for review - exactly what I was told to expect last Friday. I now must call back again tomorrow... Completely unacceptable. Update. Sept 2020. Needed an appointment today. 148 calls before getting through. With new housing developments in Stone, this situation will undoubtedly deteriorate. I'm deeply concerned about how many people might abandon their attempts out of sheer frustration, potentially missing critical diagnoses of serious or life-threatening conditions that could have been identified with timely medical attention.
