Verbatim wording from the response

“1. The Trust now has access to a case summary from the patients GP notes via an electronic system called ‘EMIS web’. This means that a printed summary of the case record is included as part of the patients case notes for every urgent and emergency admission. For planned admissions this information is gathered during the pre-admission processes. These arrangements have now been in place since April 2015.”
