These listings provide a summary of all operations and major procedures performed and diseases treated at Springvale and District Community Hospital in 1983 to 1984 and 1986 to 1987.

Each disease treated or operation performed at the hospital is recorded and the name, patient number (ie. UR number) sex, age, date of discharge and length of stay of each patient thus treated is listed. Under each disease/operation heading there is also a statistical summary which indicates the number of patients treated, their age distribution and the distribution of the length of time which patients stayed in hospital.

In addition, there is a list of diseases treated and a list of operations performed within each year. Within each of these two categories entries are listed in order of procedure code. Each annual listing contains an alphabetical index of diseases and operations which can be used to find the procedure code.

Missing index : July 1984 - June 1986
