| Annotation | The study's aim was to elicit views from UK consultants in old age psychiatry concerning changes in long-term care for older people with mental illness (especially dementia). Their views were also sought on a draft consensus statement produced by the Faculty for Psychiatry in Old Age on behalf of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. A postal questionnaire was circulated as part of a wider survey of 472 consultants. Consultants want to continue to be responsible for some longer-term care. Efforts should be made to develop the role of NHS longer-term care within the spectrum of services provided for older people with psychiatric disorders. (RH). |
