Notes:

1. Excludes Accident and Emergency and Genito Urinary Medicine specialities

2. The collection of the provider of service was not mandatory until 1 April 1994 therefore presented referral totals may be lower than the actual activity during 1994—the large number of "other/NK providers" illustrates this.

3. Provisional.
