Abstract
One hundred and sixteen heroin misusers were assessed at hospital clinics regarding their contact with General Practitioners (GPs), their routes of referral and their estimation of GP reaction to a consultation regarding heroin misuse. Thirty-nine (25%) had not previously contacted their GPs for drug misuse; 103 (89%) approached the specialized clinics through means other than a GP; the reported, or anticipated, responses concerning GP attitudes were generally unfavourable. Lack of training and support for GPs are remediable explanations for the findings.
