Request

“I am writing regarding your recent publication on Scotland's GP walk in centre pilot activity. Having reviewed the data, I would be grateful if you could clarify a number of points.

 Firstly, I noted that Out of Hours (OOH) activity appears to be included within the published dataset. Could you explain the rationale for including OOH activity within the walk-in centre figures, rather than reporting it separately? I am keen to understand the methodology used and whether this may affect interpretation of the pilot's impact.a
