Impossible access to gp service leads to suffering

I've been struggling to secure a medical appointment daily, ultimately forcing me to seek emergency care at A&E for treatment that should have been provided by my GP. This delay has significantly worsened my health condition. I communicated with the practice team, emphasizing the urgency of my medical issue and requesting an immediate GP consultation. However, I was simply instructed to "make an appointment" despite their policy of only offering same-day slots, which are consistently fully booked. An urgent and comprehensive review of their service is absolutely critical. I'm aware of multiple elderly and immobile patients who are being denied essential medical treatments and screenings due to Oakwood's virtually impenetrable access barriers. The GPs themselves are competent... when you can actually manage to see them. I intend to file a complaint with the CQC, though I'm skeptical about any meaningful change resulting from it.
