title: Accident and emergency services at Auckland hospital.
abstract: This is an investigation of the role that the accident and emergency department of the Auckland Hospital plays in the provision of medical care in the Auckland area. It is demonstrated that a significant part of the work that is done in that department could equally well be performed by general practitioners and that there is a need for further education of the public concerning the delivery of health care.
