Man had to wait four weeks for appointment at South Beach Surgery

PATIENTS attending General Practitioners in the Three Towns have complained at having to wait up to a month to see a doctor.

One resident who uses South Beach Surgery, on South Crescent Road in Ardrossan, said he has been told he will have to wait a month for a routine appointment, despite similar problems with waiting times raised two years ago.

He said: "The situation is now as bad as it has ever been - one month for an appointment as I discovered the other morning when I tried to get an appointment to get signed off from my work due to stress and deteriorating health.
