Most GPs will not register down-and-outs and others of 'no fixed abode' even though they might need medical treatment. One of the few practices that will see them is run by Dr Hilary Allinson based in a cabin next to a night shelter for the homeless in Oxford. With the help of Mike Hall , who runs Oxford's Simon House hostel, she spends much of her time helping alcoholics and the homeless, both young and old, who now find their way to Oxford just to visit the doctor.
