Clinic booking status (December 2005): (Status is updated monthly)

The department has a "pool" referral handling system. Patients get the quickest appointment by any of the three consultants. It is  possible therefore that patients referred to a certain consultant are seen by another. Similarly, and for certain conditions, patients may undergo surgery by a consultant different from the one that booked the procedure in the first place
