4. ORGANISATIONAL ISSUES
INTRODUCTION
Each participating hospital was sent a questionnaire, which asked for details about the
size of the hospital, the numbers of patients undergoing endoscopy within the hospital
and the facilities available within the endoscopy unit. The information collected has been compared to the recommendations from the British Society of Gastroenterology Working Party in 20011 (the BSG Report) on the provision of endoscopy related services in district general hospitals. The BSG Report1 focused on a number of key areas, including the requirements for endoscopy, where this should be performed and the facilities required
in an endoscopy unit.
