<p>We are exploring the option of such alerts within the National Health Service e-Referral
Service (e-RS) system to identify where there are capacity pressures within individual
services. These have been utilised previously at the point of referral to allow referring
clinicians to view capacity within providers. The re-introduction of this option requires
further work to ensure there are no unintended consequences and regional oversight
with local system commissioners to ensure provision for patient referrals is always
available.</p>
