Special Report No. 83 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Managing Elective Day Surgery
11:00 am
Dr. Tony O'Connell:
That is partly it but it is also clear that the children's hospitals tend to attract the more complicated, high-risk cases. We would not expect to see the same rates of day-case surgery for the same procedure, even by the same surgeon, when he operates in one small hospital compared to when he operates in a large teaching hospital.
