<x-tad-bigger>I would appreciate a little help. I am involved in a project looking at a range of issues around radiology referrals. I would intend passing on the report for comment when drafted. However in the meanwhile there has been a steady increase in the cost of radiology services over recent years. We are looking for likely hypotheses from the coal face as to what might explain this. Another glaringly obvious issue is the lack of electronic referrals to radiologists – we are not sure to what is the extent of computer generation of printed request forms, and there seems to be little electronic transfer occurring.</x-tad-bigger>

<x-tad-bigger>Any ideas appreciated. If people send them directly to me I will collate and return to the list for comment to reduce traffic.</x-tad-bigger>
