  9. Mechanisms – what do we need to consider?

  10. Proximity

  11. Responsiveness Dave “I got sent by the social work, the first day I went to them, up to the psychiatric department at Ninewells Hospital because I was having problems and they phoned up and they made an effort to try and get someone to see me but the moment I got there they started taking down details. I mentioned that I was homeless, I got sent to six different departments and then I sat for three hours and then I was sent away. And, I was told I needed a GP referral. And then when I went to the GP I was told I couldn’t get a normal GP because I was homeless I would have to go and register through someone and so the homeless team got it sorted out for me, but, how would I have known that if it hadn’t been for them?”

  12. Convenience

  13. Timing

  14. Continuity Margaret (breastfeeding): “To see the same person …. because you don’t have to keep explaining your story to everybody its just becoming more like – how are you getting on today? …. And you know probably because they know from the time before.......there’s nothing worse if you have to repeat yourself one hundred times telling people”

  15. The Future
