This article outlines a problem in the referral pattern for mental health workers on the Isle of Wight, when they require psychiatric or psychological help. The authors are concerned that treatments are offered by colleagues. A survey undertaken of 12 community mental health units in Wessex seems to indicate that there are no dear policies or financial arrangements for referrals to other units. The authors agree that the treatment of mental health workers everywhere may be compromised in the market economy, if trusts start to function, because of economic pressures, as islands.
