General practitioners' attitudes towards the limited list. 1986

A Reilly, and R J Taylor, and J Webster

From a one in 10 randomly selected sample of Scottish general practitioners 260 (85%) responded to a series of attitude statements concerned with limitation of NHS prescribing which was introduced in April 1985. Although a majority of respondents were against the current limited list scheme, two-fifths were in favour of it and many of the objectors were in favour of the principle of limitation but not the way in which it had been implemented.
