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.

    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around. 
    • Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
    • The toilets at this spot in the park have been vandalised to such an extent that they are now closed.
    • Hello! I'm looking for 2-3 baby gates I can borrow from 17th August - 6th September for a visitor.  Does anyone have any I could use? Thank you!
