Does not surprise me, if you check local medical centres in UK some have a list of missed appointments for the last week in the waiting room, the percentage is shocking. That is unfortunately the society we have today "thoughtlessness" and regrettably here in Mallorca, if ever you have been waiting for Telefonica, or any other service, you will understand.
How irresponsible of all these people that don't turn up! No surprise cases have risen considerably in the past 2 weeks due no doubt to the students and now people not having the jab! The jab rate in fairly low in mallorca and that certainly is not helping the spread of the new variant. Green status,no doubt will be removed soon! Come on Mallorca get those jabs!!!..
I would fine people for missed appointments. Given they have either gone online to book, or made an agreed telephone appointment, they are well aware of the appointment and have agreed to it. That appointment could have been taken by someone who actually wanted it.
