Frustrating healthcare experience with unhelpful nhs support

Just rang up seeking guidance about my dad's clear urinary tract infection, given my nursing background and his evident symptoms including mild confusion. Was advised to either contact them tomorrow at 8 am or use 111 after 6:30 pm if truly worried. Seriously? If I wasn't genuinely concerned, I wouldn't have called! Now waiting for 111's promised callback within an hour (which hasn't happened). Dad urgently needs antibiotics. Classic NHS response - not impressed! Brought my mum in today - she has Parkinson's and dementia. I now transport her in a wheelchair for convenience. Well, "convenient" might be stretching it - easier to move her, but parking is a nightmare. There's just one disabled spot already occupied. I need substantial space to maneuver her in and out of the car, which means parking on yellow lines, unloading the wheelchair, getting mum out, then leaving her while I find another parking space. The return journey is equally complicated. The car park is ridiculously small compared to patient numbers. Parking is incredibly scarce, and this situation definitely requires a serious review.
