Phone queue finally answered but prescription handling slow

Wow. After spending close to an hour on the phone, I finally got through. I was requesting information about a referral and was transferred straight to the administrative team. They handled it swiftly. However, when I then asked about my nicotine replacement products, I was told they couldn't transfer me back to the relevant department. That seemed odd. I was informed I'd have to go back through the call waiting system again. But after I explained how long I'd already waited, the administrative team sent a message to the appropriate department and I received a response within minutes confirming my prescription had been sent to my pharmacy. This was 4 days after it had arrived at the practice. Given that I'm without my nicotine replacement products and actively trying to quit, I would have expected this to be handled more promptly. It's not as though the prescription is difficult to process and send. It seems inconsistent that patients can be removed from lists for missing appointments, yet the practice takes 4 days to process a straightforward prescription. Additionally, I haven't received any appointment notifications regarding my referral. I found this experience disappointing.
