Long waits and slow prescription processing let me down

To be honest, I don't think this is just an isolated issue with one clinician, but the service felt ineffective. I called on a Friday to arrange an appointment for a medication review and was offered the earliest slot available, which was two weeks away. I explained that my medication supply wouldn't last that long and asked if a prescription could be arranged. I was told that a request would be made for authorisation. When Monday arrived, nothing had been dispensed at the pharmacy. I visited the practice in person and was informed the prescription was still awaiting approval. By Tuesday, the situation hadn't changed. I phoned the practice on multiple occasions and was told each time that it remained pending signature. On my fourth call, a different receptionist mentioned the request had only just been submitted on Monday. This contradicted what I'd been told previously. In the end, I contacted an alternative service who were able to provide the prescription I needed.
