Long phone queue but staff member was helpful

I received a text message about a medication review just under an hour ago asking me to contact the surgery to arrange an appointment. I've been waiting on hold ever since. The surgery closes for training between 12.30 and 13.30, during which calls won't be answered. It's now 12.10 and I remain on hold, having progressed from position 17 to position 8 in the queue. It seems unlikely my call will be answered before the lines close. I would suggest that when sending text messages about medication reviews, the surgery could simply include a pre-allocated appointment time rather than requiring patients to call. The overall experience has been frustrating. I've thought about registering elsewhere, though the nearest alternative practice has similarly poor feedback, and my previous practice, which provided excellent care, is no longer accepting patients from my current location. Update: After one hour and twenty-nine minutes, I finally got through. The staff member I spoke with was extremely helpful and courteous, which I greatly appreciated.
