The report says there should be easier entry for all general practitioners into the General Medical Service. I could not but support this. Nowadays the IMO must be consulted to see if setting up another GMS list in an area where there are plenty of other doctors with GMS lists would be resisted by people in those areas. This very rarely happens now and the most serious problem is getting people to take up GMS lists in some parts of the country. It is not a question of trying to get competition for these lists; it is a question of getting anyone to take them at all. Not all of this was taken into account by the people who wrote the review.
