We are now well into the second year of the separation of purchaser and provider functions in the National Health Service. District health authorities as purchasers of services are required to assess the health care needs of their population (NHS Management Executive, 1991a) and seek professional advice regarding both the need for, and the provision of, services. The NHS Management Executive acknowledges that local clinicians in provider units will continue to make a major contribution to this advice (NHS Management Executive, 1991b).
