Q2. Which company would you consider (by volume of scans or frequency used) your emergency/out of hours reporting provider(s)?
(If more than one company, please outline the nature of how both companies are used (i.e., different hospitals, weekends and weekdays, different types of scans)).
Q3. By the same measure as Q2, which would you consider your primary/main elective/non-emergency reporting provider(s)?
Q4. For any providers not listed in Q’s 2 and 3, please could you briefly describe what you utilise this provider for?
