Terrible phone service leaves patients frustrated and helpless

I'm completely baffled by how this medical practice is handling their communication. Their phone system is utterly dysfunctional. You're presented with two limited options: book an appointment or get test results during a narrow time window. I was trying to assist my elderly mother, a patient with memory issues, who was turned away at 8am and told to call instead. When she attempted to phone, she encountered a recorded message stating the call queue was full. Since 9:30 this morning, I've been attempting to reach Tennyson House Surgery, consistently hearing the same unhelpful message about the queue being full. What happened to their professional responsibility and patient care? Where are all their staff? I'm genuinely concerned about what would occur during a genuine medical emergency. I'm skeptical anyone will even read or respond to this complaint, given their apparent inability to manage basic patient communications. As a result, I'll be formally reporting this unacceptable situation to the Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS England. Tennyson House should be thoroughly embarrassed by their current operational standards.
