Defines the role of GPs and explores their possible involvement in practice management and planning, which authorities are trying to encourage. Suggests that there would be a conflict of interest between management and doctors' relationships with patients, and that they could risk becoming public scapegoats as they are in the most exposed position. Raises points to consider, such as should GPs contemplate becoming involved in practice planning.
