This paper explores the range of expectations of psychiatrists held by those in general management in the health service.

In most Western countries, including the UK, comprehensive mental health services are predominantly funded from State resources. The role of the psychiatrist has changed in the past 20 years and will without doubt change further in the next 20 years. Expectations of psychiatrists have changed and will continue to do so. We take the position that psychiatrists should continue to have the major leadership role in mental health and in so doing must become increasingly responsive to the changes taking place in health care planning and provision.
