Thanks Tim, yes, the list size bit I understood.
I looked on http://www.qof.ic.nhs.uk/ but didn't see any prevalence
for depression, whats the story there? Studies suggest prevalence of
around 10% but there is no way we are identifying and treating
anything like that number, and there is certainly not the capacity to
push 5% of the population into appropriate Rx for "mild" available
locally.
