I think if you're poorly enough you'll get help, eventually. I guess that generally means more hospital involvement than doctors, mind.

My local surgery don't do advance appointments at all unless booked after a consultation. So, say you need to discuss test results or have a non-urgent problem, you need to phone up in the morning to book an appointment from 9am. There's no guarantee of a non-urgent appointment, so you might have to try over a few days to get seen. Absolute rubbish if you're working, especially if you travel a distance to work.
