I down load the annual report of the Winton Health trust looking to see how the funding and population have changed over the years,since Cam published his paper in NZMJ Making it pay and making us stay. Having spent 32 years in the same practice I really wanted to look at many aspects of the patients seen from those born in the 1880s to those born in the 2020s a range of 140 years . It isn't going to happen , but the if we are going to use general practice research and data to inform decisions we need accurate and honest researchers in general practice to share their knowledge and insights . The modern attitude of divide and conquer has not served General Practice well . Back at home a little boy waits !
