  "abstract": "The NHS has a longstanding ambition to bring down hospital clinic waiting times, and the cheapest way is by reducing referrals.1 Some referrals are simple, and the patient’s problem might be solved by a written exchange between GP and hospital specialist—usually through the advice and guidance (A&G) option on the e-referral system. The GP writes a brief outline of the case, including a succinct clinical question, and a specialist replies.",
