You highlight an interesting problem with the NHS that quality is extremely variable based on your location. For example I can book an appointment online at my GPs, so never have to phone anymore. I can normally get an appointment within a week. Also a number of years ago I needed an MRI and CT scan. I had these 2 weeks after seeing my GP, whereas I know family members that live in a different area and have had to wait months for similar scans.
