Haven’t been able to get even in the queue for my doctors surgery for two days despite being asked to book a blood test plus I would ask like to ask them something. I would imagine the phone lines are busy due to people booking Covid vaccines. While I know Covid is a real health threat other health issues aren’t getting the needed treatment.

Yes I agree this would help matters for those not able to book online.

Are you sure they don't have a separate phone-line? Around here ours do, or they have an online system to book.

Can you do an e-consult and ask for a call back?

Our surgery ask people to call to book.

I don’t think it’s likely to be people booking Covid vaccines, usually they call you or you book with a centre.
