Note: Law 23/2010, of July 22, on the creation of the area of Penedès, divides Catalonia into eight territorial planning areas. This change implies that the data for the Metropolitan Area, Central Counties and Camp de Tarragona are not directly comparable with previous years.

Methodological note

Definition of concepts

Non hospital centre or service
Centre or service that offers health care to patients that are not admitted to beds. Does not include external surgeries of hospital centres.

Methodological aspects

For the data on hospital equipment there are two sources, both from the Department of Health. First, there is the Register of Health Centres, Services and Establishments, which basically provides information related to the location in the territory of centres that have received the corresponding administrative authorisation (health and county map). A second source of data are the Statistics on Health Establishment with Internment Schemes (EESRI), which provide annual information on the structure, resources, care and economies of hospital centres located in Catalonia. The EESRI statistics have been generated since 1980 by the Department of Health and are coordinated on a state level in association with the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality.

Recently, Law 23/2010, of July 22, divides Catalonia into eight territorial planning areas with the incorporation of the Penedès region. This new territorial area includes the counties of Alt Penedès, l'Anoia, el Baix Penedès and el Garraf. In consequence, the territorial boundaries of the area of Metropolità, Comarques centrals and Camp de Tarragona are modified, and their data is therefore not directly comparable with previous years.
