Paid time off for antenatal

[soffphie]

Basically the NHS forgot to book me any growth scans, i realised it was only 2 weeks till i saw my consultant about my growth scan and that i hadnt had any scan appointments booked at all -_- long story short theyve arranged me one last minute but it will interfere with work. I asked if it could be changed and they basically said No, its that or none. I would rather attend it then not.
I am going to tell work today but do they have to pay me as normal whilst i attend this appointment or is it because its a scan they dont? Its not the end of the world either way but just wondered

I was under the impression you have to be paid time off for antental appointments.

 

[MrsP513]

The law says that employees are entitled to reasonable paid time off for their antenatal care. Your employer cannot ask you to make up the time or to change y

I believe that they have to pay you for any time off if appointments requested by your midwife or usual antenatal care x

Yes they have to pay you for any antenatal appointments
