Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed)

2:10 pm

Dr. Martin Daly:

In our campaign to get a new agreement on rural general practice, there was support across all strata of GPs in the organisation. Our campaign to get a new deal for general practice was also backed by the other craft groups, including consultants, non-consultant hospital doctors and public health doctors. There is an opportunity, but the culture has to change to one of support.
