[Locations, facilities and routines in Norwegian out-of-hours emergency primary health care services].
Limited data are available on casualty clinic facilities and localisation, inter-municipal co-operation and routines for out-of-hours services in the 433 Norwegian municipalities. The National centre for emergency primary health care collected data on these issues from October 2005 until February 2006. ⋯ Inter-municipal co-operations are most common in areas with a high population density, i.e. in southern and eastern parts of Norway. Varying routines in out-of-hours service districts indicate that several municipalities do not fulfil all the obligations in regulations from the Ministry of health and care services in Norway.

[Organization of Norwegian out-of-hours primary health care services].
The organization of out-of-hours primary health care services in Norway is currently changing from municipal-based to larger inter-municipal co-operations with regular employees and improved competence. The Norwegian Medical Association and others have encouraged the establishment of larger out-of-hours primary health care units that include all municipalities and regular GPs and serve the entire population. More data are needed to study the situation for out-of-hours services in Norway. ⋯ We observed distinct variations in the organization of the out-of-hours emergency primary health services in Norway. Some of these differences are due to differences in population density and geographical factors.
