Abstract
At the neonatal unit at Baragwanath Hospital, 22% of aM admissions
weighed less than 1500g at birth at the time of the study. This group of
babies are responsible for a formidable part of both the workload and'
expenditure of any neonatal unit The earlier discharge of these babies
offers significant advantages to both parents and the health service,
