Necessity for inpatient services in neurological practice.
An analysis has been performed of the case material referred to a single neurologist in one year, including outpatient referrals, ward referrals and those patients admitted directly from other hospitals or from general practitioners. A summary of diagnoses, reasons for admission and duration of stay is included. It is concluded that some 6 inpatient beds sufficed for their investigation and management.
