Summary

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.
