Impossible to reach through the busy phone lines

The telephone booking system is frustrating to navigate, with busy lines making it difficult to get through, and lengthy waiting times once connected, only to be informed that no appointments are available and the process must be repeated the following day. When I eventually secured a telephone consultation, it was scheduled three weeks ahead for my young children who had been experiencing severe gastrointestinal symptoms for several days, which felt inappropriate given the circumstances. I felt compelled to contact the out-of-hours service, and they acknowledged that the appointment system was problematic, subsequently arranging an alternative appointment at the hospital for me. Although I had reservations about accessing emergency services for what I considered a routine matter, I felt I had exhausted all other avenues and had no realistic alternative.
