Collection and Usage Attributes
Guide for Use
Derived from the 'Not ready for care-start date' and the 'Not ready for care-end date'. 

There may be multiple not ready for care periods within a 'Non-admitted patient care-service delivery waiting period', however, there can only be one 'Not ready for care-period' at any one time for a 'Non-admitted patient care-specialist outpatient services referral'. 

The dates related to each 'Not ready for care-period' must not overlap.

A 'Not ready for care - end date' is required before a new 'Not ready for care-period' commences.
Verification Rules
Must be less than the Non-admitted patient care-service delivery waiting period.
