Over recent years Central Manchester GPs have supplied over 50% of the referrals to the Gaskell House Department of Psychotherapy. Yet there is no formal channel for feedback from these GPs concerning the services provided and for opportunites for realistic enhancement of the relationship between them and the predominantly hospital-based psychotherapists. It would appear that this communication gap applies to many psychotherapy centres in the UK though Tyson and Reder1 have specified the opinions of GPs as one variable to be considered when planning psychotherapy service.
