This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

It is gratifying to have so quick and detailed a response as given by Williams and Catling in their comments on our letter (Hart & Shrimpton, 1991). We agree that it is essential for patient dose measurements to be conducted efficiently whilst also yielding meaningful data. Indeed, the need for such local surveys has lead to the formulation of appropriate dosimetry protocols by NRPB in collaboration with the Institute of Physical Sciences in Medicine and the College of Radiographers which will be published shortly.
