THE NHS in Nottinghamshire has issued a plea to patients and the public after missed GP appointments cost the health service more than £9.25m in the past year.
-
NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB says that, from October 2024 to September this year, patients failed to show up to 308,538 appointments at GPs.
The body responsible for healthcare in the city and county said that when patients fail to show up, it created unnecessary expenses and also meant that time that could be used to see other patients was wasted.
Due to increased pressure during the winter, the NHS is asking patients to cancel appointments in advance if they are unable to attend.
