I have given up al lhope of ever seeing a GP

During lockdown my mothers dimentia became more and more apparent, I was told by social workers etc that to get access to any help for her I would first need a diagnosis. Many times I phoned and explained this to receptionists. Cut a long story short, things with Mum deteriorated to the point where I was sobbing down the phone asking for help for her and ,by now, also my mantal health. No help whatsoever was forthcomng. I was in despair. The receptionists just gave stock answers to my pleas. I often asked to speak to someone a bit more superior, hoping to speak to a person who would be a able to maybe understand the problemsI was experiencing but no. Things did not get any better for me and mum. The only help i received was from emergency social workers who found a place for mum in a care home. Not the outcome we wanted but it really had became an emergency, I really feel that if I had received basic care from the beginning things may have had abetter outcome. Perhaps train receptionists how to speak to people and not to just assume that we are just time waster and skivers because thats how I was made to feel.
