And if you asked me how I get a test I wouldn't be able to tell you. I haven't a clue. I'm assuming somebody from the NHS (I dunno who) would tell me if I phoned my GP to say I was ill.

See how confusing it's getting. That's the complaint, that primary care hasn't been in the loop

If I have to navigate a call centre or there are too many hoops I'm likely not to pick up the phone at all. And I've never even *heard* of 119! What/who is it?

To organise a Covid test you either click on the link to gov website (as above) or call 119

GPs cannot organise Covid testing

or go to the NHS branded website nhs.uk/conditions/cor…

which leads you into …l.test-for-coronavirus.service.gov.uk/antigen/name

which tells you there are no tests - and gives NO guidance or advice on what do while waiting 🙄
