Waiting times are too long

It is so difficult to get an emergency appointment at the surgery. If you call first thing you end up waiting in a queue for about half an hour and then on occasions by the time I get through there are no appointments left. On occasions in this instance I'm then offered a callback from the person on duty, once when this was offered I didn't get a call and so later that day ( after 4pm) I rang the surgery to chase up the call and was told it would now take place the day after. On another occasion when I was offered a callback I had a rash that I was concerned about ( and had explained this to the receptionist), when the doctor called back he said I needed to be seen in surgery and would have to call the following morning for appointment. I find that the best option if I need an appointment the same day is to go to the surgery before 8am and queue outside ( which isn't ideal if you are unwell). This I've noticed happening more and more and there is quite often a queue at the door by 7.30am. The care generally is ok, although I'm overdue my diabetic check as my last appointment was cancelled by the surgery.
