Secker, Jenny; Hill, Kathryn
Journal of Interprofessional Care, v15 n4 p341-50 Nov 2001

Interagency support in supporting clients was restricted to a minority of agencies within the same practice context. Barriers included reluctance or structural inability to share information and lack of clarity about confidentiality. (SM)
