Dr. Niall Colwell:

I just do not believe in it in my practice. I have to make a couple of comments. We audited the number of patients treated as inpatients in the hospital but because they did not get to a hospital bed and they languished on trolleys for hours or days before discharge, 17% of our acute work last year was ignored. If one translates that over four hospitals and then translates it into the Herity report, one underestimates the work that we do.
