I am aware of an example where three GP practices have come together but within that community there is another practice that did not join. It does not make sense to me because there is safety in numbers from a range of perspectives. It seems to be a good model and I would like to see it implemented where possible. Dr. Quinlan pointed out there are areas of the country where it is not possible.

However, where it is possible, I would like them to buy into it so there would be that type of collaboration.
