Re: missed hospital appointments
Those figures don't surprise me in the slightest. The amount of people who fail to attend antenatal appointments is astounding. Not only could their appointment have been used by someone else but the midwife then has to chase these people up (a statutory duty).
On the general side they've given up the chase. If you miss an appointment without cancelling and re-scheduling, you are not sent another. If you need another appointment you then have to go back to your GP and to the back of the waiting list.
