Repeat prescriptions delayed despite multiple requests

My parents have been attending this surgery for many decades. Unfortunately, the standard of care has noticeably declined in recent times. Getting through to the practice is difficult, securing appointments at convenient times proves challenging, and most concerning is the difficulty in obtaining repeat prescriptions. My mother has been waiting considerably longer than expected for her prescription to be processed, with the supply set to deplete imminently. Despite multiple contact attempts and visiting reception in person, authorisation had not been granted by late Friday afternoon. At her age, this situation has caused her considerable stress and anxiety. Medication management should be handled promptly and reliably. This experience has been deeply unsatisfactory. Following this initial issue, the prescription remained unsigned and I was forced to contact the out-of-hours service to obtain an emergency short-term supply on Saturday morning. The handling of this matter by the practice has been extremely disappointing. It remains unclear when my mother will receive her regular prescription.
