Notes:
ATTENDANCE IDENTIFIER is the ACTIVITY IDENTIFIER for the attendance.

ATTENDANCE IDENTIFIER is a sequential number or time of day used to enable an attendance to be uniquely identified.

If a PATIENT is seen by a doctor, sent elsewhere for a test or X-ray and then seen again by a doctor of the same CONSULTANT's firm during the same clinic session, it would be recorded as one attendance - not two.
