Confusion over the blood clinic

the other week i went to chorley hospital to have my blood taken, i was given a form by my doctor. I went in and asked at reception and they said get a ticket and sit down. i did that and after 30 minutes of waiting i was told by the phlebotomist that i couldnt have my blood taken as it wasnt urgent and they are only doing urgent blood tests. I wouldn't mind but there was no-one else in the blood clinic and i was listening to the two phlebotomists talking for 20 minutes about their weekend. I don't understand why i had to wait and why they couldn't just do my bloods, they need to open back up to everyone.
