"Podiatry service appointment cancellation"

About: Kalbarri Health Centre

(as the patient),

I am unable to care for my toenails and usually have an appointment 3 monthly. Once again my last appointment was cancelled. This was nearly 4 weeks ago and as yet I have not received a new appointment. This is most unsatisfactory. Why when a service to an outlying area is cancelled, is there not a fill-in clinic to make up for the missed one, it isn't as if we have a weekly service it is only once a month.
