The supplied information compares the average weekly number of patients visiting four clinics at a hospital between 2010 and 2016.

Overall, patient numbers increased in most clinics, except for the birth control clinic. Consultations for eye problems overtook those for birth control, becoming the most frequent, while diabetes and dental visits remained the least common.

In detail, birth control visits started higher at roughly 250 in 2010, compared with 125 for eye consultations. Although birth control visits rose to 275 in 2012, they then fell sharply to 175 in 2014, whereas eye consultations increased slightly in the first two years before surging to 350 in 2016. By the end of the period, eye consultations had clearly surpassed birth control, highlighting a contrasting trend between the two categories.

Diabetes appointments began at 60 and rose steadily to 175 by 2016. Dental visits, which started higher at 100, fell sharply to 50 in 2012. Although dental visits recovered moderately to 125, diabetes appointments maintained a stronger upward trend, eventually surpassing dental visits.
