Terrible service and communication from medical practice

This is the second occasion I'm submitting a 1-star review after previously being approached to remove it. In the past few weeks, I've encountered repeated appointment booking problems. Initially, I was told an appointment was confirmed, but upon checking my NHS app, I discovered no booking existed. The appointment then had to be rescheduled for a later date than originally planned. Now, once again, a scheduled phone appointment went unaddressed. Only after personally contacting the practice did I learn the appointment was cancelled because the assigned GP lacked sufficient expertise for the intended discussion. These repeated issues are causing significant delays and providing an utterly unacceptable patient experience. While I was informed the cancellation note had just arrived, the appointment was booked days earlier, and the responsible GP should have recognized their unsuitability for the consultation well in advance. Considering the consistent negative reviews from other patients, I intend to escalate these complaints through the Ombudsman, as it appears no meaningful improvements are being made despite ongoing feedback.
