This draft memorandum summarises information collected on various methods employed by hospitals in London to prevent unnecessary waiting by outpatients. Its object is to assist all hospitals to ascertain whether their own waiting time is capable of reduction, and if so, how to reduce it.
The object of this time-table is to provide information which will help to prevent the waiting, with possible resulting hardship, which occurs when patients attend hospital out-patient departments at the wrong hour or even the wrong day.
