Miscommunication about blood test

I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and I am under observation. I am required to do blood test every 3 months. Pre- covid, I was getting my blood test done at the GP surgery, now they are asking me to go to the hospital to get my blood test done. It takes me 5 minutes to get to my GP and it will take me longer time to get there. The receptionists are not helpful, and they do not give any tangible reason for their decisions.
