GP failed to reach back when son needed urgent care

My child has been experiencing episodes of breathing difficulties. Following a call to emergency services and subsequent assessment at the hospital, I was advised to contact my GP the next day regarding a potential prescription for respiratory medication. I called my GP at 8am and was informed that no appointments were available, and was asked to call back by 1:30pm. When I called again at that time, I was told a clinician would contact me before 6pm. At approximately 4:11pm, I received a call, but it disconnected as I was answering. When I called back to explain what had happened, I was told I would need to book another appointment. I found this experience frustrating and felt concerned about the level of responsiveness to my child's health needs. I felt that the situation could have been handled more effectively, and I was disappointed by what seemed like a lack of urgency given my child's age and medical situation. I remain hopeful that my child will recover well.
