Terrible gp surgery with frustrating phone service

This general practice is absolutely dreadful. Twice now, I've been stuck on hold for nearly an hour, only to have someone pick up the phone and then pretend they can't hear me before abruptly cutting the call! Getting an appointment is nearly impossible, and they insist you see a doctor for a referral even when it's blindingly obvious that a simple referral is all that's needed. People complain about NHS funding, but surely providing a sensible, efficient service that doesn't squander both the doctor's and patient's time should be basic common sense. Moreover, there are frequent periods when the phone line is constantly engaged while the reception staff appear to be doing absolutely nothing. I'd love to switch practices, but from what I've gathered, every GP surgery in Newport offers equally substandard service. It's a complete disappointment across the board.
