Phone queues make booking appointments difficult

I am writing on behalf of my elderly father, for whom I arrange all medical appointments. When my father has attended consultations at the practice, the staff have consistently demonstrated kindness, helpfulness and a supportive approach. The clinical care provided has been excellent. My concern relates to the telephone access system. Reaching someone by phone has proven extremely challenging. I have recently disconnected after waiting nearly an hour, representing my third unsuccessful attempt within a few days, and I have still not managed to speak with anyone. While I recognise the pressures facing healthcare services currently, the waiting times do appear quite lengthy. This situation is particularly problematic for older patients, many of whom do not have unlimited call packages and therefore incur charges for each call made.
