Impossible to book an appointment here anymore

It has become extremely difficult to secure an appointment with a GP at this practice. When attempting to book during regular hours, either in person or by telephone, you will typically be informed, though courteously by reception staff, that no slots are currently available and that you must ring back at 8am the following day. When you do call at that time, you find yourself competing with numerous other patients attempting the same thing. After joining the telephone queue, you are told there are "more than 30" people waiting ahead of you. Following a patient wait of around 20 minutes, the call often disconnects. Upon ringing back, you receive the same message about "more than 30" callers in the queue. Should you opt for a callback service, an SMS is sent containing a link to a website displaying your position in the queue. On one occasion, this revealed a position of 113th in line—not a mistake, but genuinely one hundred and thirteenth. This demonstrates that the vague "more than 30" figure heard during the wait could represent anywhere from 31 callers to well over a hundred, with no clarity provided. Attempting to book via the practice app yields similarly frustrating results. If appointments are available at all, they are typically scheduled a month into the future. It appears that if you anticipate needing medical attention, you would need to arrange it well in advance.
