1.8() MAJORITY REPORT. a to him, and a statement of the points on which specialist opinion is desired. Such an arrangement is already in force where cases are referred to the Regional Medical Officer or to the Tuberculosis Officer. This system has received the cordial approval of the medical profession. The obligation thus placed on the insurance practitioner would be accompanied by a similar definite obligation on the specialist. The practitioner should receive a report on any person treated by the specialist, with advice as to further treatment, and also in cases not needing specialist treatment, advice as to diagnosis or as to the treatment which the practitioner himself should carry out. 979. The provision of specialist services in this way as part of medical benefit would result in :— (1) A substantial increase in the availability of such services, (2) A substantial increase in the proportion of cases in which general practitioners would avail themselves of such services. (3) A greater disposition on the part of insured persons to obtain benefit. (4) An exchange, not as now in a proportion of cases only, but in all cases, between the practitioner and the specialist, of the information which each should have, and definite guidance for the practitioner as to both diagnosis and treat- ment. REACTIONS ON EFFICIENCY OF GENERAL PRACTITIONERS. 980. These in themselves would be great advantages, but of equal importance, in their ultimate bearing on the health of insured persons and of the community generally, are the prospective indirect effects of such a system in improving the efficiency of the general practitioner. It has been long recognised that he suffers great disadvantages in the maintenance of his professional efficiency, through the isolation experienced under present conditions of practice. A large proportion of practitioners have few opportunities for coming into contact with those who are devoting themselves to the study and practice of particular branches of medicine and surgery. Unless they have mixed practices with a fair proportion of persons of means there are few opportunities of comparing the expert’s view on a case with their own. Of the real deficiencies in their methods which would be observed by a competent colleague, they are thus neces- sarily unaware. 281. In a system under which specialist services and general practitioner services were welded into one scheme, the conditions of general practice in this respect would be completely changed.
