AJ Oldham and R Gaind
A study, covering the years 1964-67, of an integrated psychiatric service
for a population of 92,000 was described in this Journal in 1969. This
paper describes the continuation of this study to cover the further period
1967-75 and comments on data relating to the whole 11- year period. In this
comment, the needs of this psychiatric service have been compared with data
from other workers and with current Guidelines from the Department of
Health and Social Security.
