Specialist health service - Statres includes general hospitals, psychiatric care and treatment of substance abusers, ambulance services og specialists with an operating agreement with a (regional) health enterprise. The services are organized through regional health enterprises/authorities. For the time being indicators for general hospitals, psychiatric care and treatment of substance abusers are included. Indicators for treatment in general hospitals by main diagnoses groups (ICD-10) are included from 2008. These indicators are under development and will in coming years be expanded with indicators for man-labour years and others. Statistics for private sector are also published to ensure coherence with other statictics on this field in the Statbank.

Productivity and unit costs
To give an estimate on unit costs in a hospital there is a need for a cost weight measure. The cost of one bed-days is highly dependant on the type of treatment a patient is recieving. By using DRGs, Diagnosis-related groups, one has a cost-weight of different treatments in general hospitals. Unit costs are in the tables below defined as operating costs per DRG. The figures are compiled from the SAMTATA Report (www.samdata.no). Because of some differences in the statistical populations the unit cost figures are not comparable to other StatRes-indicators (see "about the statistics").
The statbank also includes figures on the relative level of costs between health enterprises.
