    Unnecessary bureaucracy

    I have always found the Parish Fields practice first rate - very quick to respond, helpful, efficient, highly skilled. But I have become irritated by the online consulting room service - which doesn't allow you to send emails after 11am. The explanation is that it reduces the burden on staff. If you don't have the capacity to respond to a non-urgent email, don't answer it. That's fine. Everyone does that every day in every line of work. There is absolutely no logic to preventing people from even contacting you in the first place. It doesn't make the enquiry go away, does it? Why can't I email at 3pm on the understanding that I may not have that email read until the following day - or even the day after? I'm fine with that - I'm not fine with missing my narrow contact window in between waking up, doing the school run and then starting work - and therefore having to go in in person or on the phone - clogging up recception or the phone lines - which presumably the online option is specifically set up to prevent?! It's just a bad, counter-productive idea. It would be terrific it that were recognised and the silly system changed.
