Abstract
The Management Executive (ME) in Scotland has recently announced that between 3000 and 7000 acute sector beds are to be lost in Scotland by the year 2001, for many of the same reasons that the Tomlinson report recommended beds be cut in London. Health boards are developing plans to restructure hospital services but issues of public and professional support for the plans they produce, and questions of funding, will determine the final outcome.
