Practice didn't follow up on promised callback

My husband attended an appointment on a Wednesday and received a prescription. We live in one area so travelled to a local pharmacy, only to be told that the medication on the prescription was no longer available, having been discontinued for a considerable time. We were advised to contact the surgery. We returned to find the surgery was closed for training. I was able to ring the following morning and speak to a receptionist, who said she would arrange an alternative medication with a clinician and would send a text message to confirm when I could collect it from my pharmacy. It is now Friday evening and we have received no contact from the surgery. This is very disappointing. Firstly, I question why a prescription would be issued for a medication that is no longer in production. Surely the prescriber should verify availability before issuing. Secondly, the surgery has not followed up as they said they would. The practice is now closed for the weekend. I would appreciate contact from the surgery explaining what has happened and why the promised action was not taken on either occasion.
