Explanation: 1. The patient already has coronary heart disease, so primary care would not be appropriate for this problem.
2. The patient has just been discharged from secondary care level services, where diagnosis and treatment was done.
3. A patient recovering from a CABG will best be served by rehabilitation services, which is at the tertiary care level.
4. There is no indication that the patient was having difficulty accessing healthcare prior to this episode, so public healthcare does not apply.
