The change in the focus of care for people with mental illness from hospital to community has been far from uniformly successful for a variety of reasons. A review of the development of mental health services suggests that the views of doctors and the responses of administrative systems are significant forces in shaping the development of services. This study explored the attitudes of general practitioners, psychiatrists and administrators, with a view to establishing areas of congruence in order to move towards an improved model of service delivery. Recommendations are made in the areas of primary care psychiatry, access, communication and education.
