Phone queue delays made follow-up appointment difficult

I was instructed to undergo some tests a couple of weeks prior by a clinician at the practice. I was also informed that should the tests prove normal and my symptoms persist, I ought to contact the surgery to arrange a consultation. I called this morning and learned that my test results were normal. I then rang back to request an appointment as I had been instructed. The receptionist informed me that today's appointments were fully booked and asked me to ring back the following day. I reiterated that I had been advised by the clinician to book an appointment but was told I would need to call again tomorrow. When I enquired what would happen if tomorrow was also fully booked, I was advised I would have to ring the day after that. It seems increasingly difficult to obtain face-to-face consultations at GP practices. The pandemic, which is frequently cited as a reason, is no longer a reasonable justification for this situation.
