Their opinion on collapse of surgery in SWAH and Altnagelvin with surgeons.

Cases where a patient will be so badly injured or unwell that the difference in ambulance times will be relevant are thankfully rare.

It is also inconceivable that a patient presenting in such a state to SWAH would not
be seen by elective surgical teams who are on site and stabilised prior to transfer.
