A DARLINGTON doctor has warned patients could face extensive waiting times at GP surgeries if appointments are opened to pre-pandemic levels.
Last week, NHS England said all GP practices must offer face-to-face appointments and an in-person reception desk, ending the mandatory "total triage" system introduced during the pandemic.
It seems to me that they just don't want to see anyone, getting to see a doctor now is nigh on impossible.
Then they complain that people are going to hospital with problems that could have been avoided if they were seen earlier!

I've only used the telephone service once, it was alright but sort of weird.
