Terrible healthcare service for my sick toddler

I am utterly appalled by the surgery's handling of my situation this morning. I called to secure an urgent appointment for my three-year-old, who is running a fever and has developed a widespread rash across her stomach. The surgery flatly refused, stating all appointments were fully booked and directing me to dial 111. Upon contacting 111 and completing their assessment, I was informed they had referred the case to the GP, emphasizing the practice's obligation to care for a registered patient. When I relayed this back to the surgery, they remained unhelpful and simply suggested taking her to A&E. Their response is completely unacceptable, particularly when a young child's health is at stake, especially during the current outbreak of strep A and scarlet fever. This seems to have become their standard approach: deflect to 111 or recommend walk-in centers, showing absolutely no genuine concern. They consistently have minimal appointment availability, offering slots days in advance, despite the unpredictable nature of illness. I'm left questioning the entire purpose of being registered with a GP if they provide such minimal support when patients most need medical attention.
