My Father was booked a home visit due…
My Father was booked a home visit due to a failed blood test at the surgery and his reduced mobility - Swiftqueue were the people meant to carry out this visit - No call as advised to book the appointment - They just turned up (seen on fathers cameras) and rang on my fathers door. he is deaf, cannot get to the door quickly and has early stages dementia so is a vulnerable client. The door was not answered obviously as there was no arranged appointment. I have since spoken to the Drs today to ask about the test and advised I did see someone on the camera just turn up but no answer at the door. Swiftqueue closed my dads blood test as there was no answer at the door, they have advised the Drs as it is a home visit they are classed as housebound so they just turn up ? I am shocked and so are the receptionists at the surgery. The clients they are attending are also classed as vulnerable clients therefore they should not be opening the door to anyone not booked or known to be going, and may need assistance to do so. I honestly cannot believe in todays day and age regarding safety around vulnerable clients that swift queue feel this is an acceptable way to operate. Their policy and procedures need an over haul so the clients are getting a comprehensive correct service. My father still needs the urgent blood tetanus but cannot re-book as they will just turn up at the door with no call and cancel the test again. What a ridiculous waste of time, effort and tax payers money for a non-productive service.
