Reception and staff went above and beyond

I have been in contact with this surgery over several months regarding my elderly relative. I have found no issues with this practice, as the reception team, prescribing staff, practice nurses and GPs have all demonstrated helpfulness and compassion, going the extra mile to support me in managing my relative's pain relief and exploring potential longer-term solutions following a recent home visit. While I recognise the concerns raised by others in the feedback section, having observed the local area expand significantly through successive housing developments until reaching near capacity, I question whether this surgery has received corresponding increases in funding or staffing to accommodate the substantially larger patient population they now serve compared to when the practice first opened. It seems unlikely that additional resources have been provided, which may account for any perceived decline in service provision. I believe the local planning authority should bear responsibility rather than the surgery itself, as it is unrealistic to expect service quality to remain unchanged when a town's population has grown substantially without proportional investment in healthcare infrastructure.
