摘要：

Non-attendance by patients for elective surgery with insufficient time to find replacement leads to wasted theatre time and wasted resources. The introduction of pre-admission clinics at the North Riding Infirmary, Middlesbrough has alleviated this problem and has led to considerable financial savings. A 12 month prospective study has shown an increase in operations performed from 3738 to 3944. Financial savings have not been taken into consideration in this publication.
