Prior to the registration changes, the average number of patients who received consults daily was about , and up to 30 per cent of appointments were cancelled, he said. By comparison, one of the busiest emergency departments in the province could see about patients in 24 hours, said Melanson, an emergentologist at the Moncton Hospital.
