The effect on the Chemical Pathology 'on-call' services at Beaumont and Blanchardstown hospitals of the change in the Accident and Emergency service from a regular roster covering the northern half of Dublin to continuous local catchment area cover is reported. At Beaumont, the number of patient specimens each night from the A&E department is similar to the peak level which occurred approximately every third day under the old rota system. The total continuous demand in the hospital is about 10% higher than the previously reported peak demand. At Blanchardstown by contrast, the demand from A&E has fallen by about 60% from the previous peak but services to inpatients have increased by 50% over the previous year's published figure. Thus the on-call demands for Chemical Pathology services continue to grow but there has been a large shift in demand towards the hospital with the greater catchment area.
据报道，都柏林北部地区的急诊服务从常规排班覆盖改为持续的本地集水区覆盖，这对博蒙特医院和布兰查德斯敦医院的化学病理学“值班”服务产生了影响。在博蒙特医院，急诊部门每晚的患者标本数量与旧排班系统下大约每三天出现一次的峰值水平相似。医院的总持续需求比之前报告的峰值需求高出约10%。相比之下，在布兰查德斯敦医院，急诊需求比之前的峰值下降了约60%，但为住院患者提供的服务比上一年公布的数字增加了50%。因此，化学病理学服务的值班需求持续增长，但需求已大幅转向集水区更大的医院。
