AnnotationExamines the impact of the National Health Service (NHS) and Community Care Act 1990 on inpatients discharged from five psychogeriatric acute assessment wards in Nottingham, April-September 1993. The study failed to demonstrate any association between length of stay and dependency, or between dependency status and destination at discharge. The authors recommend further work be done to monitor the long-term impact of the Act.
