These figures make interesting reading, not least in the variations both for individual consultants year-on-year, but also between consultants. The reasons for these variations are unclear and warrant further investigation.

Discussions with consultants within the Trust highlighted that:

There is no information held by the Trust on the variations in use of E.C.T. between consultants and hospitals, although some of this may be due to differing clinical judgements.

There was no work known by them in England and Wales to allow comparison of E.C.T. provision in different N.H.S. trusts, or any work similar to that being undertaken in Scotland.
