206 Hospitals: UK
• On call: Half hospitals BUT mortality 20% lower if present
• High Risk Patients (Scope 12hrs)
– 1/2 scoped 24hrs
• High risk Bleed lesions- treatment– ¾ Given any endoscopic treatment
– Only 1/3 given optimal
• Inappropriate Drugs
– ¼ used correct use

Screening Improving Mortality
• Colonoscopy + FOBT
– Reduce incidence CRC by 20%
– Reduce CRC mortality by 28%
• Flexi-Sigmoidoscopy
– Reduced incidence by 33%
– Reduced CRC mortality 43%
– Saved lives (1 in 200)
