Our HA doesn't supply the paper - says use any A4.
Interesting slant on the ToS "..forms supplied by the ctee .."
I decided to put the half dozen thickest folder patients into A4, it is
making life easier. The staff want to put another half doz up. We
shall see.
My shelving has accomodated an increase of 300 patients due to removal
of excess paper from notes, and leaving the file copy of letters
outward on the disk instead of printing it out.
As the numbers increase further, it may become sensible to convert more
of the old notes to images, OCR text and summaries.
