This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition NHS to introduce a charge of £25 for every missed appointment.
Having a look through local GP practice websites you will find numbers of weekly missed appointments & their time equivalent; this is the case for every other healthcare service.
More details
If you are tired of waiting 4 weeks for an appointment or 6 weeks for a referral and you see these figures of the daily, sign this petition. A charge of £25 will deter people from constantly missing their appointments & take the NHS a more seriously, as well as plough some funding back in to the NHS by constant repeat offenders.
