Have a good book to hand
I spent over 3 hours on the phone from one person to a 'call navigator' to then get someone who took my details to pass onto a Doctor, and this was not including the few occasions I got cut off just as I got down to no.4 in the queue from 50. Yes, 50! Just to speak to someone to arrange for a Doctor to call me back. The service has become virtually unusable and I cannot see how any efficiencies are being achieved, or if they are at what cost to providing good customer service. Used to one of the best but sadly not completely awful service
