From 1 January 2006, when you and your GP agree that
you need to see a specialist, you will be able to choose from at least four
hospitals or clinics. You will also be able to choose the date and time of
your appointment.
The benefits of Choose and Book:
- You can choose from at least four hospitals
- You can also choose the date and time for your
appointment.
- You experience greater convenience and certainty.
With the old system, your hospital or clinic chose the date and time of your
appointment. This may not have been convenient for you. With Choose and
Book, the choice is yours.
- There is less chance that information will get lost
in the post because more correspondence takes place through computers.
