Can anyone enlighten me on some of the details of this legislation? There
remain some points I'm not clear about.

1    Will it apply to "seniors" as well as to "juniors"?

2    Will it apply to "working" i.e. on-call from home, or just to resident
work?

3    Does it come into force for all on August 2004?

4    What are the penalties for non-compliance?

5    Will it apply to locums, and how can they be "policed"?

6    How will it affect GPs who provide 24-hour cover?

I'd be grateful for any advice any of you (especially Andrew!) can offer.
