My experience is not with the BC but with my husband and his recent (and still ongoing) orthopedic issues. When responding to a booking SMS the girl told me they book 4 people per appointment time (i.e. every 10 minutes) so it does not matter if we are late. Um ?.
Yes, more medicos required but that is certainly a long-term goal as not all trainees want to work in the areas they are actually needed.
I do think if they are short-staffed they should make contact with you so you have the choice of going and waiting or making another time.
Summer :)
