Frustrating and inefficient medical appointment system

When I attempted to book a medical consultation this morning at 8:00am, I encountered a frustrating and inefficient process. After being left on hold until 8:40am, the receptionist provided an utterly impractical appointment procedure. She instructed me to physically travel to the surgery at 2:00pm merely to secure a later appointment for my granddaughter, who has been suffering from earache for three consecutive days. I explicitly confirmed the absurd requirement of multiple round trips - driving to the surgery, returning home, then coming back for the actual appointment - which she confirmed. Given my already packed schedule today, which includes collecting another child from school at 3:20pm, this approach is completely unacceptable. Clearly, this system demonstrates zero consideration for patient convenience or needs. I am determined to escalate this matter immediately, intending to discuss these unacceptable practices with the practice manager, the Care Quality Commission, and the Health Authority at the earliest possible opportunity.
