Default Guess how much missed NHS appointments cost per year?

Spoiler:

£1,000,000,000





According to NHS Digital figures, patients in England did not attend almost eight million hospital outpatient appointments in 2016/17 – or 6.7 per cent of appointments.

NHS England has said because each hospital outpatient appointment costs the NHS around £120, that means almost £1 billion worth of appointments were missed.

I wonder how much more money is wasted by abuse like this and by what sector of society?
