title: Preliminary proceedings for a model experiment to be carried out in order to investigate the establishing of geriatric districts in Hungary.
abstract: The authors review the theoretical and practical experiences on the basis of what it was deemed necessary to try out the function of geriatric districts in a model experiment. We are made acquainted with Püspökladány, a large community chosen for the scene of their experiment, with the preliminary work and with the entire process of their planned experiment. They describe the method of the 1 year's basic survey which began in June 1972 and the new organizational model of the health care of the population which came into force in the second half of 1973.
