Repeated prescription delays caused unnecessary hospital visits

I experience severe nausea during pregnancy. The surgery has records showing I required medication throughout my previous pregnancy. I faced difficulties obtaining prescriptions then, though the situation has become considerably worse this time. I was initially told they hadn't received relevant paperwork, which prevented me from accessing my medication. Subsequently, I was informed I needed a medical review before being seen, only to be told I didn't require the medication in question. However, within four days of stopping it, I became unwell enough to require hospital admission with intravenous treatment. Halfway through my pregnancy, I received email and text confirmation that my medication had been approved, but when I checked with the pharmacy, it wasn't available. I was then told I couldn't have it and needed to attend again. This occurred two weeks ago and has been a frustrating experience. Additionally, my son was advised he needed an ultrasound scan for a concerning lump, but the referral still hasn't been submitted by the surgery. Our family has since transferred to a different practice. I'm concerned about the level of care and support I'm receiving. The service has noticeably declined in recent times.
