Reception failed to follow up on referral

My wife contacted the practice to check on the status of a hospital referral, only to discover it had not been submitted. I subsequently needed an appointment and booked one online, though I was informed it would need to be conducted by telephone. After a four-week wait, on the day the call was scheduled, I received a text message indicating the appointment should be face-to-face instead, and that reception would contact me to reschedule. I was cautioned that this could take a further three to four weeks. I am still awaiting that call from reception. We have decided to switch to a different practice, as our experience has been declining over time. This decision was reinforced by an incident several years ago when our young son was addressed by an incorrect name during an appointment, suggesting the wrong patient file had been accessed.
