Frustrating healthcare system fails patients completely

I am utterly appalled by this medical practice. I've been attempting to use the e-consult since Friday to log my daughter's chest infection and cough, but it completely failed to register in their system. Upon checking their website, I discovered the e-consult is no longer functional, replaced by some new system called Klinik, which is even more horrendous. You're forced to complete an excessively lengthy form and then write an extensive explanation for each symptom listed. To make matters worse, the system abruptly cuts you off right before form completion. Then, the dismissive receptionists claim they never received any self-referral. SERIOUSLY??? Calling the surgery means starting at position 15 in the queue. This ordeal lasts over 3 hours just to reach position 5, after which you're either disconnected or sent back to position 10. Absolutely ridiculous! You're forced to restart from position 15 all over again. Unbelievable! Don't even get me started on prescription requests. They don't register on the email they've provided. They've also changed the prescription request procedure without any notification to service users. How are we supposed to know? I even visited the surgery to make an in-person request since email fails, only to be told my son hasn't had his inhalers, eye drops, and cream prescriptions since 2012 - when he was born - despite him actually using them continuously. I could continue endlessly, but it's futile because many have voiced similar concerns, and they remain unaddressed. Nothing changes. Reporting to CQC seems the best course of action, and that's exactly my next step.
