[Criteria for waiting list guarantee. An attempt at precision].

A scoring form has been developed, based upon the system of priorities used in Norway when deciding among patients waiting for investigation and treatment in hospital. This scoring form was used to evaluate 40 different case histories in gynaecological, orthopaedic, urologic and oto-rhino-laryngological departments. There was much disagreement when evaluating the different case histories. Using this scoring form did not result in greater agreement among the physicians using it than among another group of physicians who evaluated the same case histories without using the form.
