Categories of self-assessed health status are excellent, very good, good, fair and poor. These should be combined into two categories for reporting: excellent/very good/good and fair/poor.

For the service type admitted hospitalisations, access is recorded based on the last 12 months. For all other services, access is recorded based on the last 2 weeks.

The service types to be reported are admitted hospitalisations; casualty/outpatients; GP and/or specialist doctor consultations; consultations with other health professional; dental consultation.
