HOSPITAL ATTENDANCE

Men and women were asked whether they had attended an outpatient or casualty department, or been admitted to hospital as a day patient or inpatient (overnight or longer), during the last year. Except for Chinese men and women, who had low hospital attendance rates (about 40% lower for outpatients and inpatients), rates for the other minority ethnic groups were similar to those in the general population.
