In Southampton we have been carrying out audit that conforms to the Government's definition in the White Paper Working for Patients (1989) for over a decade. During the last six years the results of the audit have been presented in regular meetings, while the specific projects on procedures used for diagnosis and treatment, the use of resources and outcome that we have undertaken date back much longer than this.
