Really Cherie I agree that sounds bad on paper,however there are a massive number of outpatients appointments not kept by the people they are given to too.
Which also creates a backlog, not just in catching up with those missed appointments by giving new ones but also for others waiting for appointments.
Doctors time being wasted on waiting for people who do not turn up.
I have to say for me for one, the only 'extreme' thing as to this whole issue is the govts stubborn intention to 'impose' this contract on the Junior Doctors.
At a single stroke, the threat of that being removed would end any intent of any action at all.
The govt actually should be working fully with 'all' Doctors and medical staff in England, as to plans for any needed improvements, not sitting there endlessly dictating to them.
