Abstract

In a rejoinder to a recent paper in this journal (Day et al., 1993) based on the “Two Plus One Model”, this article attempts to point out a number of important self-contradictions and flaws within the “two plus one” approach. These problems have a bearing on its claims to be a new and efficient way of utilising clinical resources.
