Topics for the national audit projects of the Royal College of Anaesthetists

Editor—Moppett and colleagues¹ provide a very fair assessment of the value of the national audit projects (NAPs) performed in the UK during the last decade. However, I would question their statement that the choice of topics for the third and fourth projects performed by the Royal College of Anesthetists (NAP3 and NAP4) was 'in part serendipitous, as a result of the coincidence of the desires of the specialist societies (Pain and Difficult Airway) and the Royal College of Anaesthetists'. The subjects for both audits were discussed at meetings of College Council and, as a member of that group at the time, I remember no input from any society.
