Charges for missed NHS appointments

If an NHS GP appointment is missed without adequate notice, a charge should be levied.

Why is this important?

Dentists, chiropodists etc charge for missed appointments and considering the current state of the NHS there is no reason why GP practice's should not do the same. My surgery recorded 168 such missed appointments in January alone and the practice manager told me this was an average monthly total.
