: This study does not report on animal or human data. It reports theoretical modelling data. Data used for calculating costs in the modelling work were obtained from NHS sources and published literature. Some of the clinical data were drawn from an evaluation of service improvement conducted at The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust. The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust Research and Development Department judged this work to be an evaluation of a service improvement innovation, therefore this was registered for audit (EDGE ID:122031) but not subject to review by an independent ethics committee and individual patient consent was not sought. All activities were performed in accordance with the guidelines of the Helsinki Declaration.
