From July 1st, 2008

This is a day surgery procedural centre. We have operating theatre nursing staff on duty whenever open. Most procedures are undertaken at the time of initial assessment. Patients will appreciate that there are significant costs associated with providing a service of such immediacy.

Sometimes the surgical item number is not known until pathology results have returned. In this situation, the surgery fee is paid in full at the time of the review appointment.
