The other chestnut in this is the ageing, or recalcitrant GP in the

the practice to also receive the results on paper, as well as
electronically.
I'm sure this isn't the case. We have been receiving
pathology/radiology downloads for over 8 years, and
for the past 5 years have not received hard copies at
all (after signing some authorisation to this effect). And
irrespective of whether requests are computer generated
or hand written, we still don't get any hard copies of
reports/results.
John,
Sorry, you're right. I meant to say 'ordering and checking manually'. I
falsely implied ordering itself was the problem. At the practice I had
in mind the GP refuses to do either.
