Reception couldn't help with late Friday prescription issue

This practice left me very frustrated. A telephone consultation resulted in a prescription being issued for an elderly patient with existing heart and respiratory concerns at 4:50pm on a Friday, when the local pharmacy closed at 6pm and wouldn't reopen until Monday. When I contacted reception to request the prescription be sent elsewhere, I was told nothing could be arranged as the clinician had finished for the day. I had to contact NHS 111 to arrange for an emergency supply to be dispensed at an alternative pharmacy. I found this situation to be poorly handled and disappointing.
