Warnings after missed medical appointments have been called for after figures revealed the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Trust potentially lost more than £3 million due to them through the pandemic. NHS digital data has shown that in the 11 months from April last year there were 24,310 outpatient appointments which people did not show up for. It means out of 419,975 booked sessions; six percent were unattended. With the average outpatient appointment costing £160 – as estimated by several NHS trusts – the no-shows may have cost University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust around £3.9 million. Readers of The Mail suggested solutions they thought could help improve the situation.
