Organisations were asked whether screening forms used across the diagnostic imaging were completed on paper or through digital methods. Paper versions requested for analysis.

The average response time was 21.7 working days (range 2\u2013106), with 72 organisations (55.8%) responding within the anticipated 20 working days. Organisations most commonly use paper forms, with only one organisation confirming that all pre\u2010procedural checks were completed using digital forms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study has drawn on data obtained through the FOI Act.
