Respondent: Mr P Croucher

Representation Summary:

Healthcare in Rayleigh is terrible. I'm referencing Audley Mills doctors. The availability of appointments is non existent. It seems you either need to stay up until midnight to try and book an appointment on-line, and then 9 times out of 10, there aren't any; or you need to phone first thing in the morning and then be kept in a queue for an hour, to find there aren't any appointments left anyway. The doctors in Rayleigh seem to already be overwhelmed, and more housing is just set to make things worse than they already are.
