* The following SAS code creates a format grouping all Man *
* hospitals into 11 groups based upon facility type/size   *
* and level of function within the provincial system of    *
* hospital care.  It was developed in May 1992 by Charlyn  *
* Black with input from Capital Planning of Man. Health    *
* for application in the Hospital module of the Health     *
* Information System (release fall 1992).  Average number  *
