Unscheduled care: Briefing note for local service boards

Despite the strengths of the unscheduled care system, there is considerable scope to improve the way services work together says a report published today, by the Auditor General.

Other examples of unscheduled care services include 999 ambulance services, or booking an urgent or emergency appointment with a GP.
