London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London JHF Brotherston SPW Chave A Cledwyn-Davies AS Hunter DA Lindsay A Scott, CB Thomson EJ Trimmer In recent years there has been an increasing recognition of the value that doctors' records can have in throwing light both on the working of general practice and on morbidity in the population. The present study consists of an analysis of the records kept by the general practitioners working on a new housing estate and forms part of an investigation into the health of a rehoused population.
