4. EP Demand 2010

5. EP Demand 2015

6. Options to consider Address variations in referring practice
Repatriate all/some EP activity?
Build on new model - develop other centres to provide CRT?
Are resources in place to cope with projected 2015 demand – financial/workforce?
What changes are required within the EP plan?
