Abstract:
A working group was set up by the Minister for Health, Mrs Eileen Desmond TD
in October 1981 "to examine the main components, both institutional and
community, of the psychiatric services, to assess the existing services, to
clarify their objectives and to draw up planning guidelines for future
development of the service with due regard to cost implications, to carry out
such studies and to take part in such consultations as are necessary to assist
this examination". In December 1984 the group's report entitled "Psychiatric
Services - Planning for the Future" was presented to the Minister for Health,
Barry Desmond TD.
It will be the purpose of this paper briefly to describe the historical background
leading to the setting up of the study group and to synthesise its main
recommendations and the constraints on their implementation.
