The other side of the fence.
Is reducing waiting lists by the now well established practice of day surgery the best way forward? Or is it a direct attempt to 'balance the books' because of political and executive pressure? I would question this current practice, because of my experience, the personal trauma and the high stress. Professionals made this worse by the lack of real consideration for family circumstances or individual needs. In the absence of a definitive adjustment, following proper objective evaluation of the present situation, the current problems may become impediments to what otherwise could prove a comprehensive addressing of certain clinical problems.
