| Annotation | The overall conclusion about Lanarkshire's mental health services was that it was "patchy", and good practices and serious deficiencies co-existed. This resulted in poor clinical care, infrequent mental health assessment and prescribing anomalies in some cases. The report also highlights areas of excellence including: the range of therapeutic activities in adult day hospitals; tailored nursing care for adult psychiatric patients; overall quality of care and emphasis on improving patients' quality of life in the old age psychiatric day hospital; and "innovative" specialist nursing initiative in addictions in old age community psychiatry.
