Triage completed but still no appointment offered

I'm puzzled about the approach to appointment scheduling following the triage process. The extended hours that were introduced seem to have been intended to facilitate advance booking for patients, yet this doesn't appear to be happening consistently. It would be helpful if the practice were to review the current NHS guidance on this matter. A tiered system prioritising urgent cases while offering advance slots for routine matters, even if several weeks ahead, would seem more efficient than repeatedly asking patients to complete lengthy triage assessments while citing capacity constraints. The triage questionnaire itself could benefit from being more concise. It's unfortunate that reception staff bear the frustration from patients when these systemic issues are beyond their control. Leadership intervention to address these operational challenges would be beneficial.
