Much of the medical care of the long-term mentally ill falls to the general practitioner (Wilkinson et al, 1985) and, for example, a survey in Buckinghamshire showed that these patients consult their general practitioner (GP) twice as often as mental health services. Lodging house dwellers are known to show an increased prevalence of major mental illness and to suffer much secondary social handicap, presenting a challenge to helping services of all disciplines. For this reason we chose a lodging house in which to explore further the relationships between mental illness and residents' present contact with their GP, mental health services and other local sources of help.

Health Problems

The role of the general practitioner (GP) in the care of individuals with mental health problems has long been recognised. Goldberg & Huxleys' (1980) pioneering work on the pathways to mental health care demonstrated that only a fraction of identified mental health problems are referred on to psychiatrists. Goldberg & Bridges (1987) estimated that between 20 and 25% of a GP's workload concerns mental health, with only about 5% referred on to psychiatrists. Shepherd (1991) insisted that the only real hope for significant improvement in mental health care lay in the improvement of GP provision – there will simply never be enough psychiatrists.
