Automated slot recovery for NHS Wales diagnostic services.
From vacant slot to confirmed booking in under 2 minutes.
💡 The Welsh Government invested £120M in June 2025 — delivering 127,000 additional appointments. Yet diagnostic pathways waiting hit a record 137,300 in December 2025. Investment alone isn't enough. Operational execution is the missing piece.
Patients waiting for NHS Wales treatment as of December 2025 (Welsh Government). Every unrecovered diagnostic slot extends that wait further.
Trust-level studies show up to 8% of NHS diagnostic appointments — MRI, CT, and ultrasound — go unfilled despite massive waiting lists.
NHS England's published baseline cost per missed outpatient appointment. Every unrecovered slot is direct operational waste.
Staff calling down waiting lists is too slow. By the time they reach someone, the slot time has passed.
Of 137,300 diagnostic pathway waits in December 2025, over 46,800 patients are waiting longer than the eight-week target.
£120M invested, 127,000 extra appointments delivered — yet diagnostic waits hit a record high. Scheduling optimisation is the gap.
