Places the concept of measuring quality in a multidisciplinary team within the context of child health services, with particular reference to provision for children with disabilities. Current preoccupations with measuring quality have been examined, noting that the difficulty of measuring service quality is compounded by quality itself being a concept open to a variety of interpretations. The managerial model of measuring quality of health care in a similar way to industrial quality has been rejected in favour of a qualitative approach, where consumers consider their needs to have been met and staff opinion concurs with this.
