Magnuson Chairman, Subcommittee on Labor-Health, < -., Education, and Welfare ( Committee on Appropriations S ,. United States Senate I _ Dear Mr. Chairman: As requested by your staff on June 19, 1975, we have summarized 'selected information on theLPublic Health Service hospital systemJ,, -which we collected in response to your request of March 10, 1975, and provided to you on April 15, 1975. You had requested that we obtain data in response to 20 specific questions. As was mentioned in our letter to you on April 22, 1975, the reliability of the information collected is dependent on the accuracy of data obtained from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) and through discussions with HEW personnel. Before sound con- clusions can be reached regarding the Public Health Service hospital system, we believe that additional data collection and analysis are required. Workload Factors The demand for inpatient and outpatient care, as measured by hospital admissions and outpatient visits at Public Health Service facilities, declined during each of fiscal years 1973 and 1974. The decline generally occurred within each eligibility category at each Public Health Service hospital or clinic, with the largest notable decline being in services to active- duty and retired Department of Defense personnel and their dependents. A slight increase occurred during this time period for contract physicians' office visits, primarily by American seamen. Statistics for the first half of fiscal year 1975 indicate some increase in demand for inpatient and outpatient hospital services. MWD-76-3
