Dr. Yvonne Williams was backed by the National Association of GPs in a planned High Court action against the initiative, but this was withdrawn as the majority of doctors signed up.

She's now joined them, and is one of 51 Clare GPs who have done so.

However, speaking on this program, she said many doctors who've joined have signed up under duress and insisted the government's plans in this area are flawed.
