Members of community mental health teams for the elderly (CMHTE), officers in local authority social services residential homes for the elderly (Part III homes) and GPs in Leicestershire were sent questionnaires regarding contact and the relationship between CMHTE and Part III homes. There was general agreement between the three groups on the role of CMHTE members in the homes and the benefits of regular liaison involvement of a team member in a home. There was a high level of agreement for open access to CMHTE from Part III home officers by all three groups surveyed.
