It is over a year since the Government introduced its reforms of the NHS and, despite surveys of consultant attitudes to these changes (Whitfield et al, 1989; Delamothe, 1990) and numerous letters to journals from those working in Trusts, there has been no attempt to systematically investigate the experiences of consultant psychiatrists working in NHS trusts. This information would be of use to those contemplating whether to countenance trust status for their own hospitals and those yet to make up their mind about their attitudes to the reforms.
