[Health resources and utilization of occupational health services]

In literature on health care organization a hypothesis has been formulated on the relations between resources and health care use. The very development of resources, and not populations health condition deterioration has been emphasized as a stimulating factor. Attempts have been made in the paper to partially verify this hypothesis in relation to occupational health service. The results have confirmed the adopted hypothesis. Almost all the relationships concerned were statistically significant. Particularly strong dependences of the use of benefits have been found in the specialist care, for consultations rendered due to a disease (not prevention) and at the territorial (provincial) level--not at the level of integrated occupational health service authorities.
