Source data

- SMR01 (Scottish Morbidity Records 01) is the source for general acute inpatient and day case hospital activity for specialties other than mental health, maternity, neonatal and geriatric long-stay.
- SMR04 (Scottish Morbidity Records 04) is the source for psychiatric inpatient and day case hospital activity.
