The x-axis shows a breakdown of months from January 2019 to March 2021. A red zero line represents the board 2019 monthly average. Individual boards are represented by different colours of lines that show the monthly breakdown of figures. To the right of the line graph, there are selection options. These include: Dashboard View, Specimen Type, NHS Board, Metric, Rate Volume and View (blocks, requests, specimens or workload).](/binaries/content/gallery/publications/progress-report/2021/10/national-demand-optimisation-group-ndog-demand-optimisation-laboratory-medicine-phase-iv-report/SCT08210709681_g13.png)
