Phone queues make access difficult for elderly patients

I have generally been very satisfied with this practice, however on recent occasions when I have needed to contact them by telephone on behalf of an elderly relative, I have experienced significant wait times of around half an hour. These calls were made during mid-afternoon periods, which are typically quieter than peak morning hours. I am concerned about accessibility for older patients who do not have internet access or family support, and how they would be able to reach the practice or navigate alternative systems. The extended waiting periods have been quite stressful for me personally. I would appreciate if the practice could consider increasing telephone staffing levels to better serve patients who rely on phone contact and may not have the ability or inclination to use online booking systems or wait for extended periods.
