Interviewer instructions

Record number.
The purpose of this question is to find out, from the respondent’s point of view, the number of health care providers who could have treated the respondent’s last condition ignoring any financial, legal/administrative or other barriers. The respondent subjectively defines who s/he would include as being ‘around’.
