[QUOTE="alanfcox, post: 1308166, member: 40170"] I think that generally the amount of "no shows" for both hospital and GP appointments is very high and you are right it does waste money and time which many people probably don't think about because there is no direct financial loss to the individual and remember that after 3 attempts the surgery can still claim their QOF points so they don't really lose out financially. Looking at the proposal in simply financial terms the surgery can save time and money and still gain financially without having so many "no shows" - if I was a business making money which most surgeries are - I suppose that this would be the way to go - but is it in the best interests of the patient?
