Reasons for attending GP or health authority clinics.
A survey of 564 users of health authority and general practitioner-run child health clinics since the introduction of the 1991 GP contract revealed a level of 91 per cent satisfaction with the service regardless of the venue, write Hilary Sharpe and Del Loewenthal. However, the demand for health visiting expertise to cover both GP and health authority child surveillance services and the requests of many users for more health visitor input highlight the need for an adequately resourced health visiting service.
