Extract

There have been two surveys of the patient population of Glenside Hospital, Bristol, in recent years—Cooper and Early (1961), and Early and Magnus (1966). Since the 1961 review, a considerable number of patients admitted have become “chronic”, i.e. have remained continuously in hospital for over one year. An attempt to enquire into this problem has been made.
