Doctors appointments

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

One the radio on the way in this morning I hear that 10 million doctors appointments were missed last year. The claim is that this cost 18 quid per missed appointment and that people who fail to cancel there appointments could be fined or ultimately struck off.
