Formal and informal care for people with dementia
The services used by people with dementia and their carers were measured at three time points over 17 months. This analysis is unusual in that both informal care and formal inputs were costed. The costs estimates for informal inputs developed here may be applied to other data sets. Two hypotheses to explain the inter-relationship between informal and formal care inputs, substitution and supplementation, were compared in analysing the data. This p…
The Quality of Life of People 12 Years after Resettlement from Long Stay Hospitals
We report service users' views on three important domains of their quality of life in the community 12 years after resettlement for long-stay hospitals. These concerned their living environments, daily activities and future aspirations. We asked a series of open questions as part of a structured interview with service users with learning disabilities (n = 196) and mental health problems (n = 102). The study is the longest reported follow-up of de…
The cost effectiveness of specialised facilities for service users with persistent challenging behaviours
Little systematic research relates specifically to the last people to leave a psychiatric hospital at the end of a closure programme. The long-running evaluation of the reprovision of services from Friern Hospital in North London allowed a special study to be made of such a group (67 people in all), whose range of problem behaviours made placement in community settings most difficult. The patients were relatively young, with a shorter length of s…

This article examines the cost, quality of care and outcome implications. Public, voluntary and private providers of mental health care are compared, based on a long-term study of people moving out of psychiatric hospitals in London. Costs are found…
