Notes:
(1) The figures relate to all in-patients accommodated in hospitals in Scotland outwith the area of their domicile. No separate statistics are kept relating to patients admitted to hospitals in other areas because a particular medical facility is not locally available.
(2) Comparable statistics for maternity hospitals and for out-patients are not readily available.
