Dear Editor, As a close psychiatric colleague of paediatricians for over 25 years I welcome this paper, but regret that the authors did not mention the multidisciplinary team that makes general paediatrics so effective in a disintegrating public service. Close links with education, social work and mental health in particular are essential and can only be achieved if these staff are on site: hospital school, child and family social work and paediatric liaison. The evidence base for mental health work in paediatrics is large, yet our profile is not, which is a puzzle. see http://mysite.wanadoo- members.co.uk/djlino4/addingvalue.doc |
