As part of the NHS plan it has been proposed to extend some consultants' usual practices and
to send all patients copies of the letters sent to their general practitioners (GPs)
following outpatient consultations. The current Secretary of State for Health has further
extended this proposal and suggested that patients should have a specific letter to
themselves after a hospital consultation.
The aim of this study is to send patients both a copy of the letter sent to their GPs and a
specific letter to themselves and to assess the usefulness and comprehensibility of each.
