Will there be a separate section in the form for the GP to fill in that the applicant will not see? Does Ms Vaughan know what I am getting at? Sometimes, applicants under the current system do not know what their GPs write down, and the minute they see that part after their applications have been rejected they realise that they could not possibly have passed. The GP might still have written a strongly sympathetic letter.
