Drug-related incidents dealt with by ten Accident and Emergency departments in Greater London during July 1982 were compared with those obtained from an identical survey in 1975. The number of incidents remained high, but there was a significant reduction in them and in the number of drug dependent attenders, compared with 1975: hypnotic drugs were used in a significantly smaller percentage of drug overdoses, but there was increased use of minor tranquillisers. The possibility of using A & E departments to monitor drug misuse on a Regional basis is discussed.

An assessment of the Urilos System for quantifying urinary incontinence is presented. There was approximate reproducibility of urine loss measurements between nappies in the same pack but under- and over-recordings of up to 25 and 23%, respectively, were observed; when packs of nappies were compared there were differences of up to 68%. Thus, the Urilos System is not, as yet, sufficiently reliable for quantifying incontinence. Other methods of measuring incontinence objectively are discussed and the use of the daily bladder chart is commended.
