During the six-month period one in 17 of the practice population was x-rayed; one in 50 attended the physiotherapy department, and the rate for general practitioner surgery consultations was one per person. I believe that in semi-rural North Yorkshire the general practitioner hospital has a continuing role to play and such a hospital can provide a better and more comprehensive service to patients, and give professional satisfaction and stimulation to the primary health care team.
