	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2024 answer text <p>It is not possible to produce an estimate of the true cost to the National Health Service of these missed appointments, as this will depend on whether NHS staff were still able to use the time productively, for example by seeing other patients instead, or doing other work. NHS England advises local NHS organisations, general practices and trusts to plan for preventing and dealing with missed appointments. These include ensuring patients can cancel appointments in convenient ways, such as by text message or through online cancellation forms and offering telephone consultations if these better suit the patients’ requirements.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 01/05/2024 13:15:38 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
