Peel House is awful for appointments. I live about 1 minute away from it and even I struggle to get appointments. One time I needed to see my doctor for a review on some medication I was on. The tablets were running out and I had a few days left of them. So I trudged off to Peel House, and queued up in the cold with the rest of the people, by the time I reached the desk all appointments with my doctor were taken. Since I needed to see him specifically I said I would try the next day. It took me 4 attempts to book an appointment, 4 times I queued in the morning only to be told there was no chance. I even had to go a day without my medication, and when I told the receptionist this she just kind of looked dazed and told me there was nothing she could do.

Lets hope when this new 'super-doctors' opens up and Peel House closes, we shall have better service.
