More bad news today. Our doctors on not available any more by appointment. We have all been given a number to call and after saying what was wrong we are put in touch with an apprpriate doc by telephone. I just cannot believe what a dreadful state we are in. Has this happened in your area yet? cheers Penny
I thought this was their new system right across the country ever since lockdown began. It is a long time since I heard of anyone being lucky enough to get face-to-face appointment. A week ago I saw the headline on someone else's paper, that only 4% of patients are being seen when they have asked. Then the update BBC news said 80% of patients are fobbed off with a telephone appointment. (it didn't exactly say fobbed-off) The two statistics are rather different but neither one is good enough. As for dentists, we were told they started consultations again, but I hear these are for private patients. If you are NHS, then tough.
