Mr. Tony O'Brien:
There is a significant amount of documentation that needs to be brought together and checked. There needs to be assurance that all the various procedures and anything chargeable is properly tracked back to the relevant chart. At the moment, those processes take slightly variable lengths of time in different hospitals but the aim is to standardise that to 21 days.
