According to NHS England in 2016/17 missed appointments cost the NHS £1 billion.
At Crawford Street Surgery we can normally offer you appointments within a week. Unfortunately, we also have a large amount of appointments we could have offered to someone who needed it, because of patients who did not attend their booked appointments.
