title: Choose and book. By the book.
abstract: The National Audit Office predicts that 60-70 per cent of hospitals and GP practices will be linked to the electronic booking service by the end of the year. By the end of last year the system had seen just 63 referrals, despite an earlier target of 250,000. Various surveys continue to show strong suspicion and lack of knowledge among GPs.
