I must object to the comment about the black list. After the fiasco of the
initial black list we were able to ensure that common sense prevailed. I
gave a lot of my time with other GP members, including my colleague Jane
Richards from GMSC, to ensure that reasoned argument was heard by the
Advisory Committee on NHS Drugs ( Blacklist Committee). As a result I think
there have been very few difficuties for GPs with the subsequent extension
of black list categories. It is a problem for medical politicians that our
successes are not always visible! Our failures are usually glaringly
obvious.
