"NHS advertising tells us to consult a GP for coughs lasting longer than 3 weeks. I rang the surgery on my half hour lunchbreak at 12.30 (not a busy time according to the recorded information). the call was eventually answered after 25 minutes. I tried to book an appointment for Thursday or Friday morning but was told to attend the walk-in centre that day. So got to the walk in centre just after 6.30 but was told i had to wait for an hour to an hour and a half. I thought a referral had been made for me"
