Abstract

Many patients in hospitals for the mentally subnormal are very isolated from the community (Ballinger, 1970). McKeown and Leck (1967) suggested that many individuals in these hospitals do not require hospital care and there have been recommendations that hospitals for the subnormal should be smaller in the future (Department of Health and Social Security, 1971).
