Specialist health service, substance abuse treatment, 2006

The number of out-patient consultations rose by 25 per cent, and about 10 per cent more man-years was registered.

The figures are given by 91 institutions, about half of them owned by the government. The capacity within the sector was 1 799 beds in 2006, about 87 per cent are beds on agreement with a regional health enterprise. Totally, 87 168 out-patient consultations were registered in 2006 a rise from 69 655 the year before. The increase can likely be explained by better reporting routines.

Some discrepancies in the total figures are due to ability of reporting; cf. "About the statistics" in order to read more about data quality.
