title: Hospitals. The regeneration game.
abstract: DGHs are faced with a choice between restricting their focus to intensive surgical and medical services or building up alliances with other agencies, including GPs. Their best hope for survival lies in robust relationships with GPs, local authorities, support groups and consumer organisations. Hospitals must pay more attention to discharge procedures. They must be prepared to manage demand in partnership with community providers.
