2.2	New patients - total
	Give the number of new day care patients, i.e. those who attended day care for the first time ever during the year.

	NOTE Any patients who are admitted to a bed without an overnight stay on a planned basis, should be counted as day cases in the in-patient section (Section 1) of this questionnaire and not as day care attenders.
