We moved end Feb and both dd and I had appointments outstanding, the last of which was just over 2 weeks ago. Since then I had a bad cold, end of term, went away for a week plus bank holidays so haven't managed to visit the new surgery to register yet.
ds has had ear ache since Saturday (flew on Friday, has congested nose and very tired, lacklustre) so after an abortive visit to the Walk In last night (2 hour wait expected) phoned gp today. We got an appointment but only begrudgingy so, as we are now out of catchment and should have already registered elsewhere, and he is a temporary patient for today only.
When I notified them of our new address they said they'd give us a month or so before returning our records but that would be up around now I suppose. I'm sure they have to do their job to make room for new patients and I wouldn't have troubled them but for the fact the Walk In wasn't helpful and we're only talking a few miles away. Just all seems a bit hasty
