GP refused to listen to accessibility needs

I had to remove my earlier negative review as I was unable to post multiple reviews simultaneously. I received a referral two months prior for a standard assessment and was advised in the referral documentation that I would receive contact from the service by a specific date. This communication did not occur, and when I followed up, the service indicated that the practice frequently provides inaccurate timeframe information. They suggested I could request my GP to reclassify the referral from routine to urgent given the significant pain I was experiencing. When I attempted to make this request at my practice, I was repeatedly informed that appointment timescales were beyond their control and no action was taken. The practice denied ever providing a date for when I would hear from the service, despite my having written confirmation of this on two separate occasions. I raised the matter several times, emphasising that my concern was about severe and debilitating pain rather than waiting periods, but this was not acknowledged. It would have required minimal effort for the practice to review my request and update my referral status, yet this did not happen. As a result, my mental wellbeing has deteriorated further and my pain remains unaddressed. Additionally, I had informed the practice that I required telephone contact due to accessibility needs, which was similarly disregarded.
