Latest research from Oct finds around 7 million low-income households are still going without essentials. 📢

The absolute frustration of trying to rearrange appointments.
At National Voices we talk a lot about patient admin and many people ask what we mean and why patients who don't cancel appointments shouldn't be charged, so here's a thread on my attempt to cancel an appointment. I was offered an appointment for 30 December - I am away so can't make it. so.... 1/4
