GP practice issues reminder after ten patients in one morning fail to turn up

Palatine says time could've been offered to other patients

A GP practice on the Island has issued a stern reminder after ten patients failed to show up for their appointments this morning.

Palatine Group Practice says that amounts to one hour of a GP's time, half-an-hour for a Health Care Assistant, and twenty minutes of nurse time.

Patients are being urged to please let the practice know if you are unable to attend so these appointments can be offered to other people.
