Phone system cuts out during prescription queries

I attended a face to face appointment and was prescribed medication. The prescription was authorised and sent to the pharmacy several days later. After a week, the item remained unavailable. When I contacted the pharmacy, I was informed they had the medication in a different formulation than what was prescribed and could not dispense it without an updated script. I attempted to contact the GP practice multiple times, but the phone system repeatedly disconnected during the menu options. When I eventually reached the prescription line, I encountered an automated system with hold music and minimal responsiveness. After waiting over eighteen minutes, I ended the call. I also tried to arrange a follow-up appointment with the clinician from my initial visit, as they had indicated they wished to see me again. However, since no specific appointment type was noted, I was offered a telephone triage instead, which I declined. I looked through the practice website to find an alternative way to escalate my concerns but was unable to locate an appropriate option. The practice previously provided a more accessible service before transitioning to a primarily telephone-based model.
