When I ordered a repeat prescription a coupleof weeks ago and they'd missed one of the items off I sat and waited until the receptionist went and got a doctor to sign a prescription for the missed item for me. It just wasn't practical for me to call in again 2 days later as I had other arrangements for that morning and they are closed in the afternoon that day. Any longer and I would have run out of tablets.

It's also absolute madness that you can't make pre-booked appointments and that if you do they are classed as the surgery failing to meet targets. Another case of something not being thought through logically. Oh yes how wonderful to have everyone seen within 24 or 48 hours - apart from when it makes it downright impossible for the patient to organise their life to accommodate that. Busman has the same problem. He can't mess about at short notice like that if he's booked to take coach trips to places.
