they seem good at that kind of thing . I had an assessment booked for a esa medical couple of months back early Saturday morning 7 miles from us when we got there they was a notice on the door all assessment cancelled as staff shortage , they send me another appointment when we got there the receptionist said I rang you to cancel for today I said when she said 10 mins ago what good is 10 mins before your appointment when you have to travel there does she think I travel by helicopter , she said you can wait and see if we can fit you in but we cant guarantee we will and you may have to wait a while 3 other people before us in waiting room then doctor came out and called me in first so glad I did wait other wise it would have been another trip back up there
