4000+ people were unable to attend the appointment they'd booked at their GP practice in Portsmouth in November - the equivalent of 28.6 days lost in GP time. If you can no longer attend, please do let your practice know so they can offer the appointment to someone else 🙏

The latest GP data for Portsmouth shows that almost 95,000 appointments were offered across our 10 GP practices in November, and an increase in the number of missed appointments. See more👇
