title: Deputising: one practice's experience.
abstract: Deputising services, either commercial organisations or doctors' co-operatives, play a necessary, although not perhaps desirable, part in providing general medical services to many less privileged and high demand areas of the country. They are probably here to stay and their use appears to be increasing. This report looks at one practice's use of a deputising service.
