Phone lines hung up on during morning calls

I am very dissatisfied with the treatment I have received at this GP practice. I was informed that I could not obtain a prescription for inhalers that had been prescribed to me by my hospital consultant. I was told I would need to attend a respiratory clinic for assessment. When I questioned this decision, I was advised that these inhalers were not listed on my repeat prescriptions, despite having been available through my previous practice. I made several calls this morning and experienced calls being disconnected, followed by speaking with reception staff who stated that GP appointments were not available. I then asked about a telephone consultation and was initially told this would only be possible in urgent circumstances. After indicating my situation was urgent, I was reluctantly offered a telephone appointment but was instructed to keep my phone available as the GP would only ring once. Given that I have respiratory conditions requiring ongoing medication management, I find it concerning that this practice appears unwilling to provide access to prescribed medication. As someone with professional healthcare experience, I find it difficult to comprehend how this practice does not have access to my complete medical records from my previous provider.
