I stress that in no case did such an absence of knowledge affect the outcome; but it might have done and although I am conscious that the proper distribution of written information does not always result in every recipient being fully informed I consider that this is an area which ought to be looked at.
In particular, information of this type when sent to Accident and Emergency Departments should be specifically directed to the responsible consultant to ensure that proper instructions are given, rather than run the risk of the letter simply being stuck on a notice board.
