title: Patient safety. Silent witness.
abstract: * General practice sees 95 per cent of NHS activity but records only 0.4 per cent of safety incidents. * Some GPs say they have not heard of the National Patient Safety Agency. * GPs' longer term relationships with patients may protect them from complaints more than acute staff.
