Impossible appointment system leaves patients frustrated

It is challenging to provide feedback when securing an appointment proves so difficult. My previous GP practice, which was of excellent quality, unfortunately ceased operations following retirements. I registered with the Duke Street practice over a year ago and now find myself needing an appointment. The appointment booking process is complex to navigate. Calls are only accepted at 8am, after which the system arranges a callback. However, by the time the callback arrives, available slots have been taken, and I am directed to contact 111 or repeat the entire procedure daily until an appointment eventually becomes available. Contacting 111 seems ineffective for my needs, as they cannot issue prescriptions or arrange tests. I had already consulted the pharmacist, who advised that I require a GP appointment, leaving me back where I started. The transition from a practice of exceptional standard to this situation has been quite jarring.
