Hospital hotline crippled: Why appointment scheduling on the Balearic Islands is failing

Answer

Why are more people waiting without appointments at health centres in Mallorca?

When the hotline fails, patients who cannot book online often show up in person at their health centre instead. That creates fuller waiting rooms and puts extra pressure on staff, especially at busy centres in Palma and other parts of Mallorca.
