Long waits despite arriving on time for appointments

I have never been seen within 15 minutes of my scheduled appointment time, even when I am the first patient of the day. The amount of time spent waiting has consistently exceeded the duration of the actual consultation. However, if I arrive 10 minutes late, I am told that the appointment cannot proceed "because the clinic operates on a strict timetable". This strict timetable does not appear to be applied consistently. In my experience, if an appointment is scheduled for 3:30 and I arrive at 3:25, I am not called until 3:45, yet if I arrive at 3:40, I am informed that I cannot be accommodated as the schedule does not allow for it. The inconsistency in how appointment times are managed has left me questioning the efficiency of the service. I feel that if this practice were required to operate under commercial business standards, the current approach to scheduling and patient flow would not be sustainable.
