abstract: Day surgery is a cost effective, quality approach to treatment which has expanded rapidly in recent years. Changes in attitude and the introduction of new technology will ensure its future growth as long as the purchasers of health care do not focus only on its cost savings aspect but equally concentrate on its quality benefits.
