An NHS patient made a 330-mile round trip for treatment after failing to get nearby appointment. Andrew Boniface, 56, says he had been left waiting three months to seen at his registered surgery, reports Derbyshire Live.
The 56-year-old says he has been trying to get an appointment at Friar Gate Surgery since September. He moved to Derby in August and quickly registered with the doctors upon his arrival.
Andrew then made a phone call not long after about a prescription, that he received. After that he then requested an appointment to discuss his medical needs with a GP, as he was due treatment in December.
