title: Primary care trusts. Birds of a feather.
abstract: A trust which provides acute, community, mental health and learning disability services has been active in supporting the development of four primary care trusts in its area. All will start this year. Initially there were suspicions about an organisation voting for its own demise. It is important to focus on what is best for the clinical services rather than protecting the status quo.
