Online form rejected without proper assessment attempt

I'm extremely disappointed by what's happened to me. I contacted the surgery requesting a telephone appointment and was instructed to complete an online consultation form, which I submitted yesterday. An email arrived today, timestamped from yesterday morning, advising me to contact 111 as no appointments were available. My discomfort is becoming increasingly severe, and while I'd prefer to keep this matter private, it's connected to an ongoing health condition I manage. I feel the practice would rather direct patients to 111 instead of addressing a straightforward request that would require minimal time. I considered calling to speak with management but couldn't justify spending nearly an hour on hold, plus the associated costs. I'm very let down by how this has been handled. Perhaps someone from the practice will reach out to discuss what's occurred, but I'm not optimistic. A day later, 111 has now told me to contact my GP instead. I'm being passed back and forth without resolution.
