Rude receptionist left dad without medication

My elderly father, recently discharged from hospital three weeks ago with medication changes, found himself without his prescriptions when we tried to collect them this weekend due to an incorrect form. Upon visiting the surgery yesterday, I encountered a dismissive blonde receptionist who showed zero empathy. When I explained our situation, she coldly stated that "the patient must inform us himself" - a statement I find completely unacceptable. This isn't the first time I've experienced her unhelpful attitude; previously, she dismissed a serious script error as mere "human error" without offering any apology. It is standard procedure for hospitals to send discharge notices to GP practices containing critical medication information, and it is not the patient's responsibility, especially for an 84-year-old disabled individual like my father who cannot manage such tasks independently. Her unprofessional conduct and provision of misleading information is outrageous. As a healthcare professional with 30 years of NHS experience, I have zero tolerance for such disrespectful behavior. I will absolutely be escalating this matter given the numerous mistakes and her unacceptable attitude. This employee is a disgraceful representation of the medical practice and her conduct is completely unacceptable.
