Health service says it's a waste of money
It's been revealed 48 GP appointments are missed every day across the Isle of Man.
Manx Care believes last minute personal emergencies and forgetfulness are the primary reasons why.
The health service says it's a waste of money as they have highly qualified and paid medical staff unable to provide the services they're contracted for.
Manx Care's Associate Director of Primary and Community Care is John Snelling:
