Lengthy waits and feeling dismissed on the phone

Initially contacted in October regarding a matter of concern, yet no resolution has been forthcoming. The initial call could arguably have prompted more thorough questioning about the nature of the issue at that stage. An appointment took 2 weeks to secure, and during the consultation I felt dismissed and doubted throughout the interaction. I was advised to undergo a blood test, which I completed 2 weeks later. Following this, I needed to chase for my results, requiring another 2 weeks of waiting, meaning approximately 6 weeks had elapsed since my original contact without receiving any clarity. The day before my scheduled results appointment, I received notification that it had been cancelled. I have not bothered to rebook as the process has become so burdensome that pursuing further help seems pointless. Calling at 8:00am results in lengthy queues, preceded by an extended automated system and confusing menu options before reaching a person. Ringing at any other time means all available slots for the following 2 weeks are already taken, and you are instructed to try again the next morning at 8am, which is often impossible due to work commitments starting at that time and calls sometimes taking an hour to connect. If you require assistance, this may not be the place to seek it.
