The Huddersfield crisis intervention team began crisis intervention work after visiting well-established crisis intervention centres and reviewing the literature. In Huddersfield health district there are four adult psychiatrists, each covering a sector of about 54,000 population. At the time of the establishment of the crisis team, the health district was not sectorised. Since 1 February 1989 the district has been sectorised into four parts and the Huddersfield Crisis Intervention Team covers the Huddersfield West Sector
