Developments in the demand for out-of-hours chemical pathology over the period when the Richmond and Jervis St. hospitals amalgamated and moved to a new hospital at Beaumont are presented alongside the similar workload from Blanchardstown Hospital whose laboratory services remained unchanged during the period. The requests from the Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments before and after midnight are also detailed. Data is presented from the Richmond from 1986 and from the other hospitals from 1987 using the first 17 rostered on-call nights of each year. With the exception of Beaumont where the diversity of tests requested was such that the working day had effectively extended, the work load consisted largely of urea and electrolytes, glucose, blood gases and amylase. The demand continued to rise. In Blanchardstown, the total number of patient specimens rose by 39% over two years and the volume increase in A&E was 69% over the same period. The number of specimens from inpatients at Beaumont in 1989 was 49% greater than the combined total from Jervis St. and the Richmond in 1987 and the total patient specimens rose by 14% from 1988 to 1989.
在里士满医院和杰维斯街医院合并并迁至博蒙特新医院期间，非工作时间化学病理学需求的发展情况与布兰查德斯敦医院类似的工作量一同呈现，在此期间该医院的实验室服务保持不变。还详细列出了午夜前后急诊部门的请求。数据来自1986年的里士满医院以及1987年的其他医院，使用每年最初17个排班的值班夜晚的数据。除了博蒙特医院，那里所请求检测的多样性使得工作日实际上有所延长，工作量主要包括尿素和电解质、葡萄糖、血气和淀粉酶。需求持续上升。在布兰查德斯敦，两年内患者标本总数增长了39%，同期急诊量增长了69%。1989年博蒙特医院住院患者的标本数量比1987年杰维斯街医院和里士满医院的总和多49%，患者标本总数从1988年到1989年增长了14%。
