Assessment of general practitioner (GP) new referrals to a neurology department in terms of satisfaction for patient and doctor. ⋯ Patients and GPs usually found the referral helpful. Seeing patients more briefly is inappropriate since almost a third already felt consultation time to be short. Although some referrals may have been inappropriate, the dominant deficiency in the service was the time they had to wait after the referral. To satisfy local need, it is estimated that twice the present number of consultant neurologists would be required.
