Merger destroyed once great medical practice forever

When I first joined this surgery in 2009 after transferring from a large practice in Baddow, I felt incredibly fortunate. The doctors were professional and supportive, and the prescription process was seamless. However, following the merger with CMP, everything deteriorated dramatically. Booking an appointment has become nearly impossible, and prescription requests can languish for days without any attention. The new telephone system seems deliberately designed to prevent patients from speaking with staff, and reception has been stripped of its core functions - they no longer book appointments or handle prescription inquiries, leaving me questioning their purpose entirely. It's truly devastating to witness a once-excellent medical practice decline so rapidly, seemingly a victim of governmental neglect towards the NHS, its dedicated staff, and the patients they serve. Update 24-4-25. Just when I believed this surgery had reached the absolute lowest point possible, I attempted to phone them today, only to discover they've changed their telephone number - yet their online prescription system still displays the old contact details. If further proof were needed of their complete disregard for patient care, I'm at a loss to imagine what that might be.
