... said it's my responsibility to make sure I have bags, and I do accept that, but when I've done all the things I'm supposed to do and it's still been messed-up I would like it to be sorted out not just dismissed. Also, I was referred over two years ago for weight management and when I called to chase this up I the receptionist told me I was on a waiting list and that my weight isn't an important issue.
I don't think that's right as I know it's not life-threatening but it is affecting my whole health. She then tried to deny she'd said that.
I got in touch directly with where my referral was supposed to have gone and found out they'd never had an email from the surgery. I'm on the list now but will have to wait even more.

Old Mill & Millgates Medical Practice (Millgates Surgery)
Dear Patient, Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I was sorry to hear that the service provided has not met your expectations. Unfortunately during the mentioned period of care and as discussed there had been some incorrect information supplied by a third party supplier which had caused delays in receiving your prescribed items. Multiple members of my team did all they could to help this situation and minimise the likelihood of reoccurrence. Unfortunately when third parties are involved the process is longer with the possibility of error and time taken to receive increased. A successful resolution was found, though errors beyond the surgeries control were identified. I was disappointed to read your personal comments, though thankfully unique, your opinion is noted. Practice Manager

My biggest comment is the difficulty in getting appointments, either getting through or getting an appointment before they've all gone. The opening times could be better.

In all honesty I haven't got a bad thing to say, really. The surgery could be open more. It would be a very bad thing to close it. Otherwise, I've never really had an issue. I phone for an appointment and take "the 8am gamble". We get texts, emails, phone calls.

... hospital.

It's fine. Normally when I ring up I can get in with appointments. I do get texts to remind me about things I find it alright. I've never had a problem. I see them when I need to.

It's a good surgery. It's a shame it's not open every day of the week. It's okay for me as I can drive. They're very nice. Very friendly. It's hard to get appointments.

You can't get an appointment here. They've been absolutely fantastic over the years but it's changed so much. The care here is very good. A lot of people miss the doctors here.

I'm here frequently. I find it really good. They're really great. Reception staff are responsive. The doctors always have a follow up plan for you. Same day appointments are good but other appointments are a longer wait. The nurses and doctors are all brilliant.

When it's open, it's excellent. Why isn't it always open? They don't always answer the phone. My wife was desperate for medication and I had to drive to Poringland. The care is beautiful; it's excellent once you're in.

It's been quite good here the last few times I've needed appointments or prescriptions. I didn't have to wait long and I was really listened to. You do see different doctors but that's fine. Overall, I couldn't expect anything more.
