NHS, GP and doctors’ leaders today slammed Rishi Sunak’s plan to fine patients £10 for missing appointments.
The Tory leadership underdog sought to catch up with Liz Truss by pledging a crackdown on “waste” if he enters Downing Street.
He said his plan to charge patients £10 for “second or subsequent” GP or outpatient appointments they miss - after a first offence - will “get more out of the money we're putting in”.
