In July, August and September 606 patients did not attend their appointment, this was 606 opportunities for another patient to utilise that slot – If you can’t make your appointment please cancel it as early as possible. This equates to 50 surgeries over 3 months which could have lowered our waiting times. This affects not only those who don’t attend or cancel their appointment, but also those who always attend.
