title: Primary care. Life after LIZ (London Initiative Zone).
abstract: A survey of primary care initiatives in casualty departments in North Thames found confusion over aims and managerial accountability. Nurses and GPs staffing these projects often overrode the triage decisions made by casualty staff. The schemes lacked the information systems required for a full analysis of costs and benefits.
