Reception staff dismissive when discussing mental health concerns

Update. Made an off the cuff remark during a call, to which the receptionist responded in a way that felt dismissive and then ended the conversation. Given that some patients may be dealing with challenging circumstances, this type of interaction felt particularly concerning. The clinical staff have been fine, but the administrative side of things needs improvement. The most recent inspection report is quite dated and does not reflect current operations. The practice has also changed their approach to repeat prescriptions, no longer accepting requests by phone and instead directing patients to use email, though the contact details are not readily provided. There is an ongoing issue with the online prescription ordering system, which frequently shows no repeat prescriptions available despite medications being clearly listed as repeatable on the patient portal. This creates a frustrating cycle where patients must contact the surgery by phone every few months, leading to delays in receiving necessary medications. The service on the administrative side is unsatisfactory overall.
