One of the difficulties we have faced in recent years is providing sufficient appointments and keeping our waiting times low. One solution to this is to provide more short appointments. A short appointment is a five minute appointment designed to deal with a single quick problem. It is anticipated this would shorten our waiting times. If we offered more it would still be a tiny fraction (less than 10%) of our appointments.

15. Do you agree we should offer a greater number of 5 minute appointments?
