There has for some time been a rising level of concern about the health of doctors. When doctors suffer physical illness, or mental ill health as a result of high levels of work related stress, adequate means of support should be easily accessible.

The objective of this report is to put forward proposals to delineate a broad overall framework for the more effective local co-ordination and provision of services to doctors with health problems; and to outline an agenda of issues and areas of concern which must be addressed if these problems and the underlying causes of them are to be dealt with effectively.
