title: The point accuracy of paediatric population registers.
abstract: The accurate identification of paediatric populations in primary health care is not being achieved. Fifteen per cent of the children were not at the address given for them on one or more of the three registers studied. Our calculations suggest that a further number of children in the community may appear on none of the three available registers.
