"Well my own feeling and I think the feeling of most general practitioners is one of frustration and disillusionment We just feel let down. Certain promises were made to us when we come into the National Health Service in 1948 and they simply have not been kept. " CU. Dr. Faulkner with Bill Symon asking question: "How does this situation affect the patients?" "Well the first thing is that no general practitioner is going to do anything which will harm the interests of his patients, but inevitably if this situation is to continue we are going to have to limit the development in the way of extra staff, equipment, improving our premises which has been going on steadily since the Health Service began. And in addition many of the particularly younger general practitioners are beginning to think about emigrating to other countries and I think this process if continued with is bound to effect the Service."
