Its a bit late now, as I have just seen your message but What you should have done was turn up at the appointed time and sorted it on the day...with the help of PALS if necessary.

I believe so they also cannot adjust when make mistakes .They are also not allowed to cancel[ POLICY] if you bring & an appt forward .Yet who gets blamed and RATIONED ? And why does every hospital repeat tests as a matter of course. Surely not always necessary.
