General

It sometimes happens that patients arrive for a surgical I medical procedure but the procedure is then cancelled for one or other reason. There is then in the short term absolutely nothing that the Cape Eye Hospital can do in the specific circumstances other than to reschedule patients. In such an event, the Cape Eye Hospital will under no circumstances entertain any claim for travel and I or subsistence costs (or any other expenses). The account of the Cape Eye Hospital will be rendered separately from that of the doctor and anaesthetist and is payable directly to the hospital.
