It is not money alone that causes young doctors to leave the country for the U.S.A. or Canada. It is the better, fuller medical life they find there, with hospital attachments and all the facilities they need to practise good medicine. And this view is supported by the fact that a practice vacancy in the U.K. if associated with a general-practitioner hospital will not fail to attract many applicants of high standard. Probably the growth of vocational training envisaged in the Todd Report'2 would make these points even more relevant.
