Area of Science:

  • General Practice
  • Psychiatry
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Psychiatric patients may be disproportionately removed from general practitioner (GP) lists.
  • Limited research exists on the reasons for patient removal from GP lists.
  • Previous attempts to gather data through direct patient appeals yielded insufficient samples.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the reasons why patients, particularly those with psychiatric conditions, are removed from their GP's list.
  • To highlight the potential for struck-off patients to form an excluded underclass.
  • To propose a method for improved data collection to inform policy review.

Main Methods:

  • Initial attempts involved direct appeals to "struck-off" patients.
  • A subsequent approach involved requesting family health services authorities to distribute questionnaires to removed patients.

  • One authority initially agreed but later withdrew cooperation.

    • Main Results:

    • Direct patient appeals resulted in a small and unsatisfactory sample size.
    • The planned questionnaire distribution via health authorities faced significant logistical challenges and lack of cooperation.
    • The study was unable to collect comprehensive data on why patients are removed from GP lists.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a significant risk that patients removed from GP lists, especially those with psychiatric needs, are becoming excluded from essential primary care.
    • Current methods for investigating patient removal are inadequate.
    • Anonymous data collection by health authorities is proposed to enable policy review and ensure equitable access to primary care.
