GP NOT CV related

A lot of GP’s are being called back to do hospital work,so I don’t think they are less busy at all

rosenoir I thought the same.
I e-mailed them an hour ago, we will see.

Try the CCG for your area nina, number will be on line, they need to know your surgery isn’t accessible to patients and I would hope be able to help. If that doesn’t work then email or write. It occurs to me there could simply be a fault with their phone system. You sound more than worried, I hope it’s sorted soon.

I thought GPs would be less busy, suspected CV patients are not seen at a GP surgery and most appointments are by phone.

Sorry Nina I read it wrong as well - thought that you were trying to ring your GP about the OPD appt - Doh!
Take care and hope you can get things sorted soon.

My OH is recovering from hip replacement and has follow up appt and X-ray next week.

I think we will cancel but I feel very sorry for those needing urgent referral, diagnosis and treatment. I do hope they continue to get some priority of care.

fourormore sorry I didn't make myself clear my outpatient appointment went ahead last week.

It struck me that it might be quicker to actually post them a letter!

Our GP has a facility on the website for 'writing' to them and a reply is promised within 24 (or maybe 48hrs) - I haven't tried it.
We are all in the same boat Nina but I do sympathise.
Re your outpatient appointment - most non-urgent OPD appts are being cancelled but they contact you. The lines are getting clogged up both ways.
