Hard to reach by phone and slow to respond

I have felt that the level of care provided has been inadequate, with staff seeming indifferent to patient concerns. Reaching someone by telephone has proven to be quite challenging. Procedures that were straightforward at my previous practice, such as arranging routine blood tests, now require an initial telephone consultation with a nurse before proceeding. When I reported ongoing chest discomfort lasting several days, along with a referral from a pharmacist, I was advised to wait a further three days for an appointment. It is understandable why patients might turn to accident and emergency services when general practice should ideally be their first point of contact. As an older patient living in a residential community, I frequently hear similar concerns raised by others about this medical practice.
