Sammanfattning
The objective was to clarify whether out-of-hours health centre visits and referrals to hospital are equally distributed in the three different duty models being used for health care in southwestern Finland by medical audit of 2926 health centre visits and 223 referrals to hospitals by general practitioners (GPs) on duty. The conlusion was that the health centre visits were not equally distributed in the three examined duty models. The over 64 year-olds in particular had the least visits and the most referrals.
