Prescription line gave confusing and contradictory instructions

I believe a one star rating for this practice is actually too generous. My prescription was marked as undetermined, so I contacted the prescription department to understand the reason. The staff member reviewed my records and informed me that I would need to attend for blood tests and a blood pressure check. She indicated my medication would be provided for the following two months, after which it would revert to undetermined status, despite my having taken this medication consistently for a decade. I attended the appointment as instructed for the blood tests and blood pressure measurement, only to be told by the clinical staff member, who was apologetic, that they were unaware of why I had been asked to come in, as no clinician had actually requested these tests. This felt like a completely pointless use of an appointment slot. I have been a patient at this practice for over six decades, and I can say with certainty that I have seen it deteriorate significantly from what was once an excellent service to what I would now characterise as poorly organised and disjointed.
