Abstract

This working paper aims to revisit findings from the 1997 King's Fund Inquiry on Mental Health and to examine the extent to which primary care mental health services have developed in line with recommendations made at that time. It takes a narrow view of 'primary care' as relating to general practice. Other community-based mental health services are addressed in other papers being produced as part of the Inquiry. The main focus of this paper is on general-practice-based services for people with common mental health problems, and of the role of PCTs in developing them. Findings are presented from a postal questionnaire of a 20 per cent sample of London GP practices and a telephone survey of mental health leads in London PCTs. [Executive summary]
