Useless letters costing the NHS

Outpatients
March 4, 2025
Phone call mid afternoon for the following day. (Two weeks appointment)Just after 6pm was cancelled. The next day and following day I received letters for a date that had passed. I tried to rearrange but told to wait for a letter. After a month I called as no appointments after 6 weeks. How much did two useless letters cost the NHS.

A&E is always overcrowded and busy. You wait for hours. They need a bigger waiting area with more facilities and better trained staff.
