Most of our patients understand that it can sometimes be difficult to get a routine appointment with a GP or nurse. One reason for this is DNAs (did not attend).

A large number of patients fail to keep their appointment at this surgery every month. This often stops other patients from getting a much needed appointment. This is an awful waste of precious NHS time and money.

Recent figures:

Month	Number of appointments missed	Total clinical time lost (hours)

January 2022	71	26
December 2021	133	38

Please help us to help you – if you no longer need your appointment please let us know.
