coronavirus case numbers set new records daily, officials with the assessment centres are noticing a growing number of people not showing up for pre-booked appointments.Mike McMahon, executive director at Thames Valley Family Health Team who jointly runs the assessment centres with the London Health Sciences Centre, said they are seeing anywhere from 70 to 130 no-shows a day.“That’s like spoiled fruit.
When an appointment is missed that’s a missed opportunity for this system to get a person tested,” he said.This comes at a time when he said they are up 50 per cent in terms of testing capacity since September.
