Extract

The Royal Medico-Psychological Association has given its general support to the unification implied in the Green Paper on the Administrative Structure of the Medical and Related Services in England and Wales. This document specifically states that ‘the effective development of comprehensive services for them (categories including the mentally disordered) requires that all aspects of their health care should be the responsibility of a single authority’. In our Memorandum on this subject we stated ‘we accept the need for a single authority in each area to coordinate the wide range of health services, to plan the use of related services, and to apportion resources between care in the community and hospital care’.
