Declan, I don't think your evidence bears this interpretation - you can say
it has not had the desired effect as you were not in a GP post: the opposite
effect would be someone in a GP post leaving, or maybe someone not in a GP
post who was about to start deciding not to (this would be maybe 179 degrees
as opposed to the absolute opposite)
And I'm sure someone will point out that your sample size is too small (I
believe you can get tablets for it though)
