When a doctor sees a patient it is important that he should have an accurate account of that patient's previous drug treatment. An earlier study (Ballinger and Stewart, 1971) showed that there were inconsistencies in the various reports of a patient's drug treatment immediately before admission to a psychiatric hospital. It seemed very likely that this problem was not limited to this one situation, and general practitioners have often criticized the quality of the information received after a patient has been discharged from hospital. The present survey attempted to assess the quality of the information about drug treatment sent to general practitioners at the time of discharge.
