					<description><![CDATA[<p>I am increasingly impressed with the service we receive from Lower Stondon. Regular messages from the nurses, contact from the pharmacist and the ability to see a doctor to discuss concerns should the need arise. No-one should expect an immediate response but this is often what we get. Thank you for being our local surgery.</p>

		<p>Good morning. I&#8217;m shocked that the Circle receptionist dropped the phone and refused to speak to me. I&#8217;m registered as an NHS intermediary, and so is my partner. I wanted to change my appointment from Luton to Bedford because my partner works at a hospital in Bedford and has significant hearing loss, so I&#8217;m acting as an intermediary. She refused to speak to me and hung up. This is unacceptable behavior. It happened today at 8:20 a.m. on October 24th. I&#8217;m shocked. I&#8217;ve been working in the NHS for 22 years, and my partner is 25. I&#8217;ve never behaved like this, either at work or in my private life. Barbara</p>

		<p>I fear this is happening in a few areas, people with a number of conditions seem to be side-lined, maybe the GP practice is not large enough and likely there is not enough money available for all patients to benefit.<br />
Hopefully you will get some joy shortly.</p>

		<p>Specsavers offer free hearing tests in Leighton Buzzard, but according to their website only certain postcodes and GP locations are eligible for NHS funded hearing aids and only for adults aged 55 and over. Patients need to go onto the Specsaver website, enter their GP postcode and if eligible will need to visit their GP for a referral. The GP will then advise how the hearing appointment can be made.</p>

		<p>Scrivens looks after my NHS hearing aids. I used to go to Salisbury House surgery in Leighton Buzzard (LB), where I live. One hearing aid stopped working in early April. Scrivens no longer comes to LB. I have to drive to Ampthill (40 minutes away) and the earliest appointment is 16 May. People who don&#8217;t drive will have to get 2 buses, taking 1 hour 44 minutes. I complained via Scrivens website but have had no reply.</p>
