If this metadata item were to be used to compare different hospitals or geographical locations, it would be necessary to specify when the scheduled date is to be allocated (for example, on addition to the waiting list).
This metadata item is required for the purposes of hospital management - allocation of beds, operating theatre time and other resources.
