Terrible service and unacceptable patient care delays

I attempted to contact the surgery today to schedule a phone consultation regarding my recent ENT report and MRI scan results. Incredibly frustrating to be informed that it takes 3 weeks to scan results into their system and appointments can only be made on the day! The practice continues to accept more patients (I've personally witnessed receptionists handing out forms multiple times) while being unable to accommodate long-standing patients. Since Vita Health took over, the service has deteriorated even further. It's no surprise people end up in A and E. On June 24th, I discovered the road was fully operational after an incident - shops open, people enjoying coffee outside, traffic and pedestrians moving normally. Yet bizarrely, the surgery claimed they were closed and staff had been evacuated due to the incident. Curiously, Tesco and other businesses were running as usual. Was this genuinely about patient safety, an overreaction, or simply an opportunistic day off? Regardless, it doesn't help reduce already extensive waiting lists. Bravo, Vita Health! On a positive note, both my wife and I recently saw Dr. Cotta, who is a wonderful gentleman and exceptional physician.
