Then maybe they should put more staff on to deal with the extra calls on a Monday morning? As you say it is a predictable pattern that should be managed for. It's not rocket science!

If you're ill, you're ill, whether it's the weekend, Monday or any other time.


Only by officially complaining will anything get done.....It makes me so angry - of course 50+ redials is not ok. Is a frail, elderly, poorly patient really expected to do this?! Oh no, they should get themselves up and start queuing in the freezing cold at 7.45am for a triage call!


I couldn't find the complaint number on choices anymore (I only did a quick search) but here is an email to write to and please cc James Barber into any complaints so he is up to date with present practices. I notice the highly advertised and great at the time, Pharmacy team have now gone!


'When you contact NHS England via email ([email protected]) ensure you state ?For the attention of the complaints manager? in the subject line.


You should provide as much information as possible to allow NHS England to investigate your complaint, such as:

?your name and contact details

?a clear description of your complaint and any relevant times and dates

?details of any relevant healthcare providers or services

?any relevant correspondence, if applicable


Contact your local CCG for secondary care including hospital treatments, emergency care and some community services, like district nursing.


When should I complain?


As soon as possible. Complaints should normally be made within 12 months of the date of the event that you're complaining about, or as soon as the matter first came to your attention.'

Don't think this has been posted elsewhere, but I was in DMC today and saw that they have leaflets out about some changes to the appointment service designed to improve access to on the day appointments. Attached without comment.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
