    AbstractThis paper presents the results of a national acute pain survey carried out in 1994. The survey aimed to establish the current status of acute pain management after major surgery in hospitals in the UK and to pinpoint those hospitals with acute pain services. The survey identified that in 1994 recommendations concerning the structure and provision of acute pain services had been partially met in fewer than half the 221 hospitals that responded. The majority of acute pain services consisted of medical and nursing staff; few included psychological or pharmaceutical expertise. The main reason cited for the underdevelopment of services was lack of funding.
