Reception repeatedly dismissive about repeat prescription requests

I have had a disappointing experience at this practice, and my concerns are based on multiple occasions rather than a single incident. Most recently, I have been frustrated with the handling of an essential prescription for my young child's nutritional needs. My partner and I have made repeated requests, both over the phone and in person, to have this item placed on a repeat prescription arrangement, as we cannot risk running short of supply given how vital it is for my child. Despite these numerous requests, our concerns have not been addressed. When we asked again recently, we were told that our current supply was sufficient, though we receive it in small quantities only after persistent follow-up. This leaves me concerned about what will happen once the current supply is depleted. The reception staff member displayed an unhelpful attitude, which is consistent with my previous interactions at this practice. I have found the reception team to be dismissive and unwilling to assist, and I felt it necessary to leave the appointment to prevent the situation from becoming confrontational. Beyond this recent issue, I have experienced other problems that have led me to view this practice as disorganised and lacking in professionalism. My previous experiences with NHS services have been positive, which makes these difficulties particularly disappointing. I am considering escalating my concerns through formal NHS channels as I feel this is the appropriate course of action.
