23 Model 4 hospitals are typically large hospitals that have emergency departments and specialist services. Model 3 hospitals are medium-sized hospitals that have emergency departments but may not have similar specialist services to a Model 4 hospital. Model 2 hospitals are typically smaller and do not have emergency departments. Results for specialist elective hospitals were not compared due to insuɝcient number of responses.
