This article summarises the findings of a National Health Service Executive, Royal College of Psychiatrists', National Association of Health Authorities and Trusts, and Trust Federation working group on medical staffing in mental health, which reported to ministers in summer 1996 and was launched at a conference in November 1996 jointly with the College. Although primarily focused on England and Wales, it is clear that similar problems exist in other parts of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
