| Annotation | This article reports on a nationwide postal survey of 1000 general practitioners and interview surveys of GPs and practice nurses in 1992, to find out their views on annual assessments or 'health checks' for the over 75s. The survey results suggest that the experiences of the first two years of this activity had convinced some GPs that routine assessment of older patients is worthwhile. However, the increased demand for other services must be met by an increase in resources if the effectiveness of assessment is not to be undermined. (KJ). |
