In 2004, new arrangements for out-of-hours general practice were introduced as part of a new General Practitioner (GP) contract with the aim of addressing inadequate standards and difficulties in retaining doctors in general practice. Many consider the new system an improvement on its predecessor but it has some serious weaknesses.
'The Use of Overseas Doctors in Providing Out-of-Hours Services (HC 441)' focuses on the use of European Economic Area (EEA) doctors. The failure to check their language skills and clinical competence has led to poor clinical care and deaths of patients.
