    Here you go -
    If you are in employment and have to take time out of your day to attend a hospital appointment, you may take this time off work. You must have a medical certificate from the hospital for the appointment. However, you are not automatically entitled to pay for this time off while attending hospital appointments. Some employers however will pay their employees while they attend hospital appointments but they are not required by law to do so. Check with your employer to find out the situation in your workplace.

    Remember, your employer cannot force you to take annual leave to attend such hospital appointments.

    Nothing, you did not get the required documentation to back it up. At best you can ask for it to be unpaid leave as sick leave is not required to be paid by law.
