No call back time frame option

I write this on behalf of my partner. We contacted the surgery at 8am Wed 23rd Nov (3rd in que) requesting an appointment. Pain in neck/shoulder/shoulder blade running down right arm with numbness in fingertips. We were requested to complete an on - line form. Due to nature of problem the receptionist submitted the form on our behalf and told we would get a call back. By mid-day the pain was acute and so rang surgery again (1st in que) only to be told the call back had been pushed back to 6.30pm. A Dr did phone but was of no real help at this point. That night the pain was so severe as it had been all day, we took it upon ourselves to go to an already stretched A&E department to obtain pain relief and get the ball rolling. This situation by the surgery was wholly inadequate, no compassion, no urgency and surely a failure in your triage protocol. Some 16 hours without pain relief was not acceptable.
