A survey of 200 patients undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia in a purpose-built day case unit is described. The response rate was 80%. The results demonstrate a high incidence of minor post-operative morbidity, but, despite this, there was a very high degree of patient satisfaction with the service provided in the unit. Suggestions are made with regard to day care surgery under general anaesthesia.
