answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2018 answer text <p>Many National Health Service organisations, including general practices, use automated telephone messages as a way of reminding patients about their upcoming appointments. This can provide improved access to care for patients in a way that makes best use of clinicians’ time while avoiding missed appointments and their associated costs. We would expect NHS organisations to respond to feedback to ensure they use automated messages as effectively as possible and if patients wish to opt out of such reminders, they may contact their local NHS provider to request this.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 17/09/2018 11:22:07 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
