AnnotationAll 25 consultants in old age psychiatry in Wales responded to a postal questionnaire about service provision, with reference to the indicative service levels defined by the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Royal College of Physicians. Overall levels of staffing and resources fell well below recommendations and varied widely between services. The average population over 65 served by a whole-time consultant was 22,995, more than twice that recommended. No association was found between morale or how well population needs were perceived as being met, and size of population served. (RH).
