Reducing DNA rates — what has actually worked for you?

Our DNA rate is 9.2% which is above average and costing us roughly 40 GP appointments per week. We've tried SMS reminders (marginal improvement), calling the day before (too staff-intensive), and online cancellation (patients don't use it). Has anyone cracked this? Particularly interested in solutions that don't just transfer the burden to reception.
