Wasted appointments

Non-urgent advice: Wasted appointments last month

In June 2025, we made 7650 appointments available to patients. 3158 of these appointments were in-person.

Sadly, 292 of these in-person appointments were unattended.

Unfortunately, these wasted appointments means patients who need to be seen may struggle to do so. Wasted appointments also increase the overall wait times for patients to be seen.

Every year, approximately £216,000,000 is wasted within the NHS on appointments for patients who failed to show up, on top of the disruption for staff and fellow patients. You can read more on the damaging effects that wasted appointments have on the NHS by clicking here.
