Aims and MethodWe undertook a postal questionnaire survey of drug action teams in England and Wales with the aim of clarifying the nature of statutory specialist drug services.ResultsOf 159 drug action teams, 110 (69%) responded; 64 (58%) reported that mental health trusts exclusively provided their specialist drug services. Other providers were primary care and acute trusts, the non-statutory sector and social services. The majority of medical leads were psychiatrists (123 senior posts with 20% vacant/occupied by a locum), then general practitioners (GPs) (42) and other specialists (4).Clinical ImplicationsSpecialist drug services are offered by a range of treatment providers, with the medical lead being taken by GPs and other specialists in some areas. In view of the current difficulty in recruiting psychiatrists, we propose that alternative training pathways are considered for addiction specialists.

Lack Of Knowledge

This study assessed, by postal questionnaire, how the role of the psychiatrist in learning disability is perceived by general practitioners. One hundred and forty-six GPs were questioned on various aspects of assessment and management that the psychiatrist in learning disability might be involved with; 43.5% of questionnaires were returned. The results indicated that confusion continues. The psychiatrist was perceived as having a global role in the care of this group of patients with lack of knowledge of community teams for learning disability being evident. Further education at a primary care level is indicated.

AbstractTonsillectomy is a commonly performed operation in children. Although the justification for this procedure has been debatable in the past, more rigorous criteria in defining the need for tonsillectomies are becoming established. The role of the primary care physician in the management of tonsillar disease in children is important as the decision to refer a child for tonsillectomy is made by the general practitioner. A questionnaire survey of 400 general practitioners (GPs) and 31 consultant ENT surgeons was carried out to establish the important criteria used in deciding the need for paediatric tonsillectomy. We found that in general there was a good correlation between GP and Consultant indications for tonsillectomy. However there were two important areas of difference, while most of the GPs felt that recurrent ear infections and ‘glue ear’ were important indications for tonsillectomy, Consultants did not. Therefore we must be aware of the current recommendations for tonsillectomy and inform present and future GPs.
