The last ten years have seen the development of sectorised psychiatric services across many areas of the country. The characteristic feature of such a service is that a given team is responsible for serving a population base defined either on geographical grounds or by general practice (Tyrer, 1985). However there has been little research on the impact of sectorisation (Tyrer et al, 1989).
