Impossible phone line ruins healthcare access for patients

I've been attempting to connect via telephone to schedule an appointment for nearly 48 hours without success. The current booking system allows only daily appointments, completely eliminating any possibility of advance scheduling. Our family has been local residents for two decades, and the service quality at the Limes has dramatically deteriorated over the past five years. Previously, securing an appointment was straightforward, and online booking was even an option. Currently, it seems there's an intentional strategy designed to maximize patient frustration. The most recent Quality Care Commission assessment from 2015 rated the facility as Good. However, the report conspicuously lacks any comprehensive analysis of the appointments system, with no data reflecting the number of patients unable to secure consultations. While the facility might maintain a positive rating among those fortunate enough to receive treatment, the Limes are fundamentally failing their community responsibility if they cannot effectively serve the majority of patients seeking medical care.
