AB  - I have tried to identify all the main sources of financial support for general-practice research and to classify the work and the sources of support. The Department of Health is the biggest single source and the total sums involved exceed £1 million. About a quarter of the money is spent by academic departments of general practice, about a quarter by research units directed by practising general practitioners, and the remaining half is spent by other academic departments such as social research, medical sociology, or community health.
