Abstract

This project has analysed the relationships between regional health purchasers and small, not-for-profit community mental health agencies. The research examined the nature of the quasi-market or network structure which had been established under the health reforms, and the implications of this for purchaser-provider relationships and for small agencies required to participate in a more complex system.
