A West Fife medical centre says around 60 hours of clinical time was lost last month due to no-shows.
A TOTAL of 359 people failed to turn up to their appointment at Inverkeithing Medical Centre last month.
The no-shows resulted in around 60 hours of clinical time being wasted.
A post on Inverkeithing Medical Group's Facebook page added: "On a positive note, we would like to thank the 74 patients who cancelled their appointments no longer needed."
