title: A survey of the work of medical advisers appointed to panels under the adoption; boarding out and fostering regulations (Scotland 1984 and 1985).
abstract: Following the implementation of new Adoption Regulations (Scotland) 1984 and Boarding Out and Fostering (Scotland) 1985, a preliminary survey of Scottish Medical Advisers was carried out in December 1987 to examine current background and practice in this area of work. A very high response rate was achieved and the findings and some implications are considered. The growth, actual and expected in this area of health board/social work collaboration, has cost implications for management.
