ASGBI recognises that delays in carrying out emergency general surgery are common and contribute to adverse outcomes. We would like to record incidences of delays in
order to strengthen the case for greater resources for emergency general surgery. Please could you answer a few questions about the cases where you have experienced a
Delay. We will collate the data and in due course produce a report which will be used to further the cause for more resource for emergency surgery.

Thank you.
