- Abstract
The ground-work for the 1992 conference was set by two previous conferences in 1981 and 1985. However, there was only a tenuous link between them, and no on-going mechanism developed to undertake the realisation of proposals raised at those meetings. Therefore, any developments that have occurred since 1981, while perhaps stimulated by those conferences, have been essentially ad hoc and not part of a conscious national strategy. So the major question facing us is whether the time is now right for the community of people interested in this area to establish a national strategy to ensure that we work co-operatively, efficiently and effectively towards broad national goals. Perhaps the major difference between the 1992 conference and its predecessors is that it has been organised by a body that is not only solely concerned with the subject matter of the conference but is also planning to stay in existence for the foreseeable future.
