§ Mr. Harry EwingAverage gross annual payments to principals in general practice in respect of general medical services, excluding payments for dispensing in the years specified are as noted below. From these payments general practitioners are required to meet their practice expenses to the extent that these are not directly reimbursed. Further sums would accrue to general practitioners holding part-time hospital appointments or undertaking other National Health Service work, but information about such additional payments over the years could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
