"Wasting my time again"

6 months ago I was told to try physio to help with my osteoarthritis (approx 3 minutes with consultant)

5 months ago receive my first appt for physio

Today 27/12 - Waited over an hour for my appt

I told the nurse I need to leave as I was due back at work 30 minutes ago but wanted it noted that I had arrived - the nurses said you've 2 people ahead of you" I said I can't wait any longer they "slotted" me in next, the other people in the waiting room arrived after me so can't help but think what is the point of appt times the system was definitely prioritised for major first, I am minor.

When I finally saw the consultant - "Did you start physio? See you in 6 months? Can't help you until you've completed 6 months physio"

Then what was the point in have an appointment! They've wasted both mine and the NHS's time! Not joking the consultant spoke to me for less than 30 seconds before I left.

Then I had to pay £3.60 for what was ultimately a 30 second consultation and I now have to make up the time at work!

Last year for the same clinic I had a phone call to say they were running ahead of schedule so could come earlier ... If there is such a delay why not call me to say set out later?!
