This will remove the system’s reliance on paper and will help reduce postal service costs for the NHS.</p><p> </p><p>In the case of appointment letters for patients the new NHS e-referral system, introduced last year, already allows healthcare providers to choose not to send out appointment letters, instead allowing patients to access the information directly from the NHS e-referral system. Patients have an option to print off the details of their appointment if they prefer to have a paper copy of the information. We expect increasing numbers of providers will use this functionality to help contain costs.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman question first answered 06/06/2016 15:15:58 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman
