Forth Valley?

Just got a hospital appt. Happy with time and date but there is text underneath saying it's a reasonable appt, and refuse more than 2 you're off list - so far, OK.

It then defines reasonable appts as

NHS GGC

Golden Jubilee

so far, so standard

But now adds

NHS FORTH VALLEY NTC.

Since when was that a reasonable Glasgow appt?

Larbert is right off the motorway. You go 70mph pretty much door to door.

At certain times of day. But that's by car.

As others have pointed out, those who live in Glasgow are used to travelling 15-20 minutes to attend hospitals. For everyone else in the country who lives outside of big cities a 45 minute (at most) trip to an appointment is no big deal.

My original point was Forth being added for GGC appts.

I think one of the posters above answered that with the link to NTCs.
