Dear Editor, Prof Colin Bradley is, of course, correct to highlight the problem of high levels of benzodiazepines use in Ireland (‘Tackling benzodiazepine abuse largely in GPs’ hands’, IMT, December 16, 2011, http://bit.ly/xhdVdj). Continuing efforts to educate GPs around the issue are commendable.
Dear Editor, I would like to comment on a recent article by Lloyd Mudiwa on the interesting study conducted by Kenosi et al (‘Fathers are under-used breastfeeding advocates’, IMT, December 16, 2011, http://bit.ly/u9UU6r).

We should like to invite any interested GP or other specialist doctor undertaking surgery in the community setting to contact us.
