PATIENTS who miss hospital appointments have cost the NHS in Dorset more than £8 million pounds in the last three years, the Echo can reveal.
Around 70 patients fail to turn up for appointments each weekday at Dorset County Hospital.
Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show there has been a total of £8,171,526 lost in revenue since 2011 – and the cost is increasing each year.
