Compares GP and informal group referrals to a community health centre. There are major differences between the two groups. GP referrals were considered to be more severely mentally ill and informal group referrals to be more socially disadvantaged and characterised more by psychosocial problems. GP referrals emphasised assessment and informal referrals emphasised counselling and advice. GP referrals were often allocated to doctors and were more likely to be referred for out or in patient help. Informal group referrals were more likely to be allocated to social workers or community psychiatric nurses.
