    AbstractA slot system allocating a set number of outpatient orthopaedic appointments to general practices in North West Anglia HA means all patients referred are seen in eight weeks. The system has provoked criticism from GPs on the grounds that the burden of waiting lists has shifted onto them, and it limits access to services. The scheme has improved communication between GPs and orthopaedic consultants.
