enthusiasm we would have had fewer services kept locally in
terms of emergency services but I’m conscious the modelling
shows up 70 to 80 percent, that modelling will need to be
bottomed out. My experience before is that you bottom them
out as you are going through the process of treating people and
agreeing protocols.
When will we know what that final figure
will be. Secondly is it dependent on the current crop of medical
consultants willing to cooperate with you or do we have more
sustainable arrangements in place and thirdly is there a
retrieval services – shall I carry on?
PETER HAMILTON: Yes.
JACKIE BAILLIE MSP: Okay. I am clear
about what we gain and you have described the patient
episodes and I note that that’s not patients but patient episodes,
just so that we are clear about that.
My understanding is that we lose
anaesthetics and as a consequence we lose certain surgical
interventions and we lose coronary care.
It would be helpful just to spell that out
because whilst there are 5000 emergency case episodes going
to the RAH, how many planned care episodes are there, so how
many in totality are going from here to the RAH. I think that
would just be helpful to know as a context.
