Dr Meadows and colleagues have drawn our attention to a wrong and misleading sentence in the Method section of Andrews et al (Reference Andrews, Henderson and Hall2001a). We conclude the sub-section on assessment (p. 146) by saying “Perceived health need was based on the UK Survey of Psychiatric Morbidity questions”. This sentence should read: “Perceived health need was based on work by Meadows et al (Reference Meadows, Fossey, Harvey, Andrews and Henderson2000a). Similar concepts were used by the UK Survey of Psychiatric Morbidity questions”.

We apologise for this omission and draw readers' attention to Meadowset al (Reference Meadows, Harvey and Fossey2000b) for a more complete discussion of the development of the Perceived Need for Care Questionnaire. This is a reference we have used in subsequent papers (e.g. Reference Andrews, Issakidis and CarterAndrews et al, 2001b).
