| Annotation | Reorganisation of mental health services for older people by Premier Health, a trust in south-east Staffordshire, has led to a dramatic decrease in admissions, with most clients receiving treatment at home. Length of inpatient stay has not fallen, probably because those now admitted are more severely ill. The service is based on community mental health teams, and places great reliance on healthcare assistants. (RH). |
