Have you ever wondered how many patients we see and treat in NHS Tayside? Here’s a snapshot of our activity over the past week.
Did you know each missed appointment costs NHS Tayside £151? Please contact your outpatient department if you are unable to attend an appointment so that we can rearrange it for a suitable time and give the appointment to someone else.
When will we make patients responsible for missing their appointments and ask them to pay a fine of say, £30-£40? We pay more than this if we park in the wrong place or drive our cars a little fast. Surely this is a bigger crime by squandering precious public resource?
