Family Doctors Condemn Cuts To Funding, Northern Ireland
Commenting on the publication of the results of a national patient access survey today (Tuesday, 30 June 2009) local general practitioners expressed anger that a survey which shows how well general practice is delivering care to patients has resulted in the expected loss of up to ÷£2 million of funding for local GP services. For example, one practice in Northern Ireland with a list size of over 9,000 has lost all of its funding for patient access.

Montgomery County, Ala., Has Highest HIV/AIDS Rate In State

There were 839 reported cases of HIV/AIDS in Alabama in 2008, and of those 122 were reported in Montgomery County, which had the highest number in the state per capita, the Montgomery Advertiser reports. Black residents comprised 70 percent of all HIV/AIDS cases in Alabama reported that year. Poverty, lack of transportation to health services, not knowing a partner"s status and not getting tested are cited as factors contributing to the greater risk for HIV among blacks in the state, according to the Advertiser. Jane Cheeks, director of HIV/AIDS programs for the Alabama Department of Public Health, said, "The more we test, the more we find," adding, "But we"re hoping we can lower the infection rate." She also said, "In 2007, we got a pretty significant increase in funding and we were able to provide more services and give more testing." In addition to administering HIV tests, the "state educates the public through public service announcements and rolling billboards on the sides of 18-wheelers, which give people toll-free numbers to call" for information, the article states (Klass, 7/11).
