Rachel Johnson said Britons who miss appointments should be fined up to £30, as that is what the NHS speculates each appointment to cost. Ms Johnson explained that if people started turning up for their appointments, it could help tackle the NHS backlog which has been caused by the pandemic. The British journalist went on to discuss Britons aged over 60 paying for their prescriptions and charging for A&E visists.

The LBC presenter said: “My idea would be to charge those who miss appointments £30 because that’s what the NHS reckons each appointment costs.

“Why not raise it Rishi to £30? and then the NHS might actually begin to recoup some of the money lost to these missed appointments.

“I would go even further; I would mean test-free prescriptions for the over-60s many of whom are prepared to pay for their prescriptions, and I would maybe even have a charge for turning up at A&E.”
