The community psychiatry service in Bassetlaw District has been developing since 1984 and provision includes hospital hostels, supervised flatlets, nursing and rest homes, group homes, cluster flats and warden assisted accommodation. Close liaison with an enthusiastic Local Authority Housing Department has also led to the development of a new initiative, an unstaffed flat for use in crisis intervention and rehabilitation. Placements in the flat are described over the first 12 months of its existence.
