Trends in four health boards where zero day admissions rose (1, NHS Grampian and 2 NHS Ayrshire and Arran), fell (3, NHS Fife) or remained static (4, Lanarkshire) after an SSPAU opened. The number of months begins at 1 in Jan 2000 and finishes at 168 for December 2013. The vertical red line indicates when the SSPAU opened. The sloping solid red line indicates the trend in the proportion of zero day admissions before and after the SSPAU opened. The sloping dashed red indicates the trend in zero day admissions if the SSPAUs had not opened
