I am somewhat worried about the report that is to be prepared by a medical practitioner who has treated the claimant in respect of personal injuries. Thanks to Senator O'Toole, I had the good fortune to talk to Ms Dorothea Dowling yesterday. She explained that this was likely to be the patient's general practitioner. Many people will have treated that patient, from the doctor who first attended him or her in the accident and emergency unit to an orthopaedic surgeon if the injuries were serious, or perhaps a neurologist, vascular surgeon and so on. If the general practitioner is to give the report, it is most important to remember that the family doctor is really a friend. It is quite a different relationship to that one has with a consultant in a hospital, whom one hopes to see only once or if the situation is really bad, two or three times. A general practitioner, however, is the person one asks about the children's illnesses, one's mother's health and so on. The relationship is totally different to that one might have with other members of the medical profession. I have not yet had a chance to ask members of the Irish College of General Practitioners how they feel about this legislation although I will do so. General practitioners will naturally want to give the most honourable of reports regarding the patient's condition, but at the same time they will have to bear in mind the relationship between family doctor and patient, which is one of the greatest possible trust. This is an area that could present problems.
