Reception blocked urgent prescription requests repeatedly

Extremely disappointed with the service following my husband's discharge from hospital after a serious incident. When I contacted the practice requesting his medication to be issued, the receptionist advised that Friday was too soon and suggested calling back on Monday, despite concerns about him running out of tablets by Tuesday. On Monday, the doctor assured us the prescription would be sent to the pharmacy, but when my husband attended the next day, nothing had been received. We were told it would be sent again, yet by Thursday still no prescription had arrived. Additionally, the sick note contained errors and the staff displayed an unhelpful attitude towards my husband as though the situation was his responsibility. As a result, my husband has experienced uncomfortable and restless nights due to his ongoing pain. Once he has recovered, we intend to register with a different practice as we feel the current one lacks proper organisation and the clinical staff appear unfamiliar with their patients' circumstances. The reception team's communication could also be significantly improved.
