Doctors' content

摘要

The editorial1 discussing the Original Paper of the same issue, by Whalley, Sibbald and Gravelle2 states that there is ‘contentment in general practice — for now’. While accurately reflecting the contents of the paper you fail to highlight that the latest survey was over 2 years ago. I would humbly suggest that a survey reported now would give markedly different and more negative responses. Management at the Department of Health and in PCTs though will no doubt find succour in your editorial.
