The chief scientist reports... Consultant out-patient services: provision at health centres in Scotland.
Hospital based consultant (out-patient) services are most likely to be found in the community at health centres. By 1991 some 45% of the Scottish population had access to services provided at these health centres. The clinical specialties most commonly provided were psychiatry, obstetrics, paediatrics and gynaecology, and they accounted for some 10% or more of all attendances. Regular consultant visits in these and other specialties were more common at the larger health centres and at those further distant from alternative provision.
