Chief medical officer's report on the nation's health: Poorly performing doctors are to be dealt with more fairly

In the histogram in this News article by Zosia Kmietowicz we inadvertently got the legend the wrong way round (12 July, p 69). The dark orange shading in fact represents hospital and community doctors, and the pale shading represents general practitioners. The graph therefore shows that among older doctors (aged ≥ 50) more general practitioners than hospital and community doctors were referred to the National Clinical Assessment Authority during April 2001 to December 2002; among younger doctors (aged < 50), more hospital and community doctors were referred.
