Sir, - I understand that the average annual salary of a junior doctor is £18,000. For the hours they have to work and the times they are on call, this is paltry.
Also, may I say a word in support of that most beleagured of professions, the general practitioner? How many of us would like to be called out in all weathers, be it hail, rain or snow? - Yours, etc.,
