Reception refused walk-in appointment despite early arrival

I have found this surgery to be reluctant to offer same-day appointments. When I attended early in the morning today, the receptionist suggested I return the following day at the same time instead. There appears to be limited distinction made between emergency and urgent care needs, with non-emergency cases being redirected elsewhere. It is also uncomfortable to have to disclose personal health concerns to reception staff in order to justify the need for an appointment, and doing so does not necessarily result in being seen. The practice would benefit from having additional clinical staff, as service provision noticeably declines when a clinician is absent. Over the past year, I have attended only a few times, and those visits required booking well in advance through the online system. On each occasion I have attempted to secure a morning appointment in person, I have been turned away without being offered an appointment slot.
