Worried surgery will close, ageing community.
Summary: Worried surgery will close, ageing community.
I'm concerned about the future of the surgery. We need to campaign to keep our surgery. It's an ageing population in Hightown and we need a local surgery people can get to. GP surgeries in Formby are very busy anyway with many new houses built. How can people in their 90s get to Formby?
Booking over the phone is hard, you queue for half an hour and there's no appointments. You can walk in and pre-book but not everyone can do this. The phone system isn't workable.
The personnel are great. Prescriptions are a bit slow, is this because GPs only there 2 days a week? Order them on line and they take 4-5 days to come through.
Sometimes see different doctors about one issue so there is no continuity as doctors no longer know the history of the patients.
