    AimThis study set out to investigate general practitioners (GPs) views on a Mental Health Service. It seeks their views on how well the Trust is providing those services and suggestions for change and development of the service.BackgroundGPs are not generally regarded as consumers of services. This survey looks at GPs as both purchasers and consumers of the services provided by a NHS Trust.MethodA short survey questionnaire which addressed the major services offered was sent to all GPs in the Grampian region. The data were analysed using non-parametric statistical techniques.FindingsMaybe rather surprisingly, GPs felt that the service provision overall was of a good standard. Two areas which GPs suggested required more provision were highlighted.ConclusionThe survey was used to inform Trust Management of GPs views and as a basis for meetings with GPs about the service. As a result new services have been developed.
