Ninety-six general practitioner recorders undertook an average of 308 consultations in the two weeks reviewed, equivalent to 121 consultations per 1,000 registered patients on the list. The number of patients to whom repeat prescriptions were issued was 10,225.The mean rate of issue of repeat prescriptions was 41.9 per 1,000 list, (346 per 1,000 consultations) though these figures conceal a wide variation between the recorders, 41 per cent of recipients were aged 65+ years and 20 per cent had not been seen by their doctor in the six months prior to receipt. The repeat prescribing rate of individual doctors bears no relation to the workload as measured by the number of consultations undertaken.
96名全科医生记录员在审查的两周内平均进行了308次诊疗，相当于每1000名登记在册的患者中有121次诊疗。发放重复处方的患者有10225人。重复处方的平均发放率为每1000名在册患者41.9张（每1000次诊疗346张），不过这些数字掩盖了记录员之间的巨大差异，41%的处方领取者年龄在65岁及以上，20%的人在领取处方前六个月内未看过医生。个别医生的重复开药率与通过诊疗次数衡量的工作量无关。
