Frustrating healthcare with long waits and limited appointments

Central Surgery has been satisfactory throughout my life until now. However, since/after covid, their service has deteriorated significantly, and that's no justification. It seems nearly impossible to secure an appointment or receive quality professional healthcare. I attempted to book appointments through online consultation and by calling around 9:00am, only to be stuck in a phone queue for 1 hour and 32 minutes. Eventually, I was informed that "No appointments are available for this morning, and afternoon bookings can't be made until 1pm." Seriously? I was advised to call back or visit at 1pm, so I went shortly after and fortunately managed to get a same-day appointment. However, I had to wait around for hours from approximately 1:30pm until 4pm, and the professional I saw wasn't even a doctor... I believe they were a paramedic. Despite this, they were genuinely good - caring, kind, and helpful. I would have given a higher rating if not for the initial poor front-line service in booking an appointment. Spending an entire day at the doctors, only to not see an actual doctor, is fundamentally unacceptable.
