Abstract

Personal medical services pilot schemes remain internally focused. In many areas hospital doctors' willingness to work with general practice has been hampered by chief executives' fear of loss of income. Health authorities have generally failed to take responsibility for the pilot schemes. There are some fears of the schemes creating inequity at local level.
