Armed police were called to a property in Grimsby
There are renewed calls for GP patients to cancel appointments they are unable to attend after a major spike in missed bookings.
“I am sure you will agree it is still disappointing to see the rise in January, it is hard to see these appointments go to waste when they are in such demand. A spokesperson for the NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board, said missed appointments were a longstanding problem for GP practices across the country, including in Lincolnshire.
“Every appointment booked and then unused and not cancelled adds to the increase in demand on clinical time and has a considerable impact on practices, practice staff and the availability of appointments for other patients,” they said.
