Abstract: This paper will concentrate on the use of technology in general practice rather than in primary care as a whole. The following items are discussed in turn: basic medical equipment, minor surgery, diagnostic technology and information technology. The results of a study of the use of fundholding surpluses to purchase equipment are described and, finally, in a discussion section, the major issues for the future are outlined.
