Missed Appointments in September 2025:

At St Georges Medical Centre, we are committed to providing high-quality care and ensuring that every patient gets timely access to the services they need. However, missed appointments, also known as DNAs (Did Not Attend), continue to place unnecessary strain on the NHS.

📊 September 2025:

  • ❌ 189 appointments were missed

  • 💷 Cost to the NHS: approximately £5,670

Each missed appointment represents lost time, a potential delay for another patient, and unnecessary financial strain. With each DNA costing the NHS around £30 on average, the impact quickly adds up.

🗓️ How You Can Help
