Cancellation policy
- To best accommodate citizens in Vejle municipality who want to make use of our services, we work towards having as few cancellations as possible. Therefore, we ask that you do not change an appointment if possible. Changing appointments often creates vacant times that we are unable to make use of – to the disadvantage of other people who are waiting to make use of our services.
- Cancellations made later than 24 hours before an appointment counts as a help session.
