Very, very difficult to get appointments.
It is almost impossible to get an appointment to see a doctor here, and if you want the doctor of choice...forget it. I NEVER go to the surgery just for the fun of it, if I do go it is because something serious needs resolving but it takes an age to first get through to the receptionists who seem to think that they are there to prevent us from getting to the doctor. I have been at this surgery my whole life (now 62) and can remember when it was much better. These days I dread trying to get through, it has definitely gone downhill since GPS Healthcare took over the place. I don't see why I should, but if I were very wealthy I would choose to go private since the hassle here is just soul-destroying.
