Pulling out from my memory, the "arm band" discussions have occurred in 4Ps and a C meeting. The discussion
will now have to go to system level especially when staff may float between hospitals one day. I know we had
put a cap on arm bands based on national data. It does not mean we can't revisit.
Thank you, Cathy e iPhone. Autocorrect spelling is on.
