摘要
The cost of a consultation with a general practitioner forms an integral part.of many economic evaluations. If resources are to be allocated efficiently it is necessary to provide accurate costings. Despite this, the research literature lacks any established method for costing consultations. This paper reviews some of the approaches used in previous studies, considers some of the issues involved in costing consultations, and provides some guidelines to follow when costing general practitioner consultations.
