The Family Health Services Authorities (FHSAs) administer a new Contract for General Practitioners which includes a requirement for GPs to make, each year, a written offer of a health check, at home to all patients over 75. Examines the strategies adopted by FHSAs in tackling the administration of this particularly controversial requirement. Concludes that although apparently effective in the short term these strategies may have considerable long term shortcomings.
