Special Report No. 83 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Managing Elective Day Surgery

12:10 pm

Dr. Tony O'Connell:

It would be very unusual for access to historical information from another hospital admission to be a predicated step in a patient moving out of the emergency department. The patient would go to a ward if he or she required admission and that information would come across. The short cut is, of course, to ask the patient the name of the doctor or surgeon who dealt with him or her in Limerick and then contact that individual directly.
