NHS cancellations

SIR – Matthew Taylor (Letters, September 16), the chief executive of the NHS Confederation, says Covid boosters will continue to be given on the day of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. He may be interested to know that my husband’s booster appointment has been cancelled.

SIR – On September 5 my son received a letter from the hospital that had the postmark September 1. The letter was dated August 11 and was for an appointment on August 25.

A missed appointment costs the NHS £180. No wonder it is in such a mess.
