Definition:	The number of groups of patients receiving services. Each group is to be counted once, irrespective of the size of the group or the number of staff providing services.
Context:	The resources required to provide services to groups of patients/clients are different from those required to provide services to an equivalent number of individuals. Hence services to groups of non-admitted patients or clients should be counted separately from services to individuals.
