| Annotation | The author, a consultant psychologist within a mental health trust, considers what impact the Single Assessment Process (SAP) has had on the working lives of individual clinical psychologists, and believes that the effect is largely dependent on the services which employ them. As for the intended benefits to older people and their families, the author believes that the outcomes have, so far, "fallen well short of expectation". To keep SAP as an evolving process involving so many organisations when no one of them "owns it presents a continuing challenge". (KJ/RH). |
