This work reports the findings of a project, funded by the Special Hospital Service Authority and the Department of Health, which set out to describe a cross-section of patients in the special hospitals and to make a critical assessment of their current needs for treatment and security. The need for a project of this type arose form three main areas of change within psychiatry: the move to community care; the creation of regional secure units; and the growth of medical audit.
