Perhaps he's needy, and is planning to sue for compensation, afterwards.

The last few times I've been in hospital I've played that age old game spot the clip board saw 27 one day. was reading somewhere that there is a ratio of 98 to 100 staffing within the NHS, for every front line clinician there are 98 pen pushers and the like

The very philosophy I employ in my political musings.
The NHS is becoming like every other public service, massively top-heavy with the first cuts always being on the front line in a display of bizarre backward-thinking.
Having said that, I've more than had my money's worth out of it and never had what I consider to be an unacceptable wait for any emergency but what good are thousands of managers without enough people to do the actual proper work?

Re: Hospital appointments
Back to the start of the thread Jay - Littlepom turned up in plenty of time for her appointment with the orthoaedic specialist on Friday at 1530.
Surprise, she was told that the appointment had been cqncelled the previous day at 0800 hrs - no-one had informed her. The hospital said it should have been Peel House - when we went there we were told that the hospital should have told her.
Asked to see the Practice Manager - she was off sick (Surprise, surprise), so we had to deal with the senior clinician(?). Alternative arrangements cannot be organised until tomorrow, Monday, two weeks since she originally saw the GP and arranged the specialist appointment.
We are not holding our breath.

Seems a total cock up to me Barrie, the left hand don't know what the right hands doing. Fortunately I don't make appointments though my GP (mainly because I've been under hospital care for so long) I deal direct with the hospital and ca honestly say I haven't had any trouble what-so-ever

they do like to harp on about missed appointments dont they but if so many people are missing appointments why are people still having up to 2 hour delays?Just imagine how long you would be waiting if everyone turned up

it does cashy, i have checkups every 6 months and at the end of each one i make the next appointment and i always ask for the first appointment of the day which is usualy 11am and if it isnt available i ask for the following day until it is available because everytime i got a 4pm appointment i would be still waiting to be seen at 5.30 because each appointment through the day over runs a bit and by the time it gets to afternoon delays are ridiculous.You know your in for a bad day when the person going in on your 5pm appointment was supposed to have been seen at 3pm so god knows how bad its going to get when the cuts are made

I agree.
There are many cancelled patient appointments, but those figures are never flashed up on the notice boards, in waiting rooms.
Though I do also agree, if you can't make an appointment, you should cancel it.
There was a programme on Channel 4, about the Mayday hospital in Croydon. A specialist doctor held a surgery for the growing number of teens who were diabetic. Not one person turned up for their appointment, each clinic having cost thousands of pounds to set up.
