Abstract
This paper describes a trial of the Canterbury GP After-Hours Service (CGPAHS), a GP staffed after-hours service within the Canterbury Hospital Emergency Department. It was decided not to continue the service beyond the twelve- month trial phase because the opportunity cost to do this was greater than existing alternative services.
