The number of operations andprocedures undertaken as in-patients or day cases is published on the ISD Scotlandwebsite at:

Emerging findings from the datacollection for out-patient procedures are published in the data development sectionof the ISD Scotland website at http://www.isdscotland.org/isd/4454.html.
