  1. Estimates are expressed as the consultation rate per 1000 patients, with the 95% confidence interval in parentheses
  2. aThe relative rate is the consultation rate divided by the consultation rate of the model baseline (White). For the face-to-face model, 1.3% of data points were removed after being identified as outliers (>3.5 studentised residuals). For telephone, 1.4% were removed. Number of observations was 3,157,225 for the face-to-face model and 3,155,350 for the telephone model
