[QUOTE="PenguinMum, post: 2426700, member: 461597"] I think it varies around the country. Our local tv evening news announced on behalf of south coast ambulance service that there was a typical 8 hour wait or even next day response. I would like to think they would triage but I wonder how many elderly and infirm people are put off by that. I did get reviewed by the eye clinic at the hospital in April after my March 2020 appointment was cancelled. The most disappointing is I cant get a telephone consult with my GP for 3 weeks to review my meds. I know our local GP surgeries have been busy at vaccination centres in the last few months. The trouble is we have to explain to the receptionist why we need the appointment and imo they are not qualified to triage. I need my digestive enzymes meds (due to Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency) adjusted so 3 weeks of discomfort and tummy pain while I wait isnt easy. I have gone on the Medicine website advice for prescribing for HCPs and have doubled my dose for my evening meal myself! [/QUOTE]
