None of the teleconsultations were refused by patients although some (<1%) expressed some dissatisfaction at the arrangements. The overwhelming majority understood the reasons for the remote consultation. Preliminary data were available from 511 triaging encounters from 13 centres; these show that 77.1% of patients were discharged directly or have had their appointments deferred until a later date; the remaining 22.9% were triaged to urgent investigations and/or face- to- face consultations..
