As part of a project designed to assess the impact of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990 upon the care of patients discharged from special hospitals, an attempt was made to obtain local authority community care plans. The difficulties encountered during this exercise and the level of planning obtained for the mentally disordered offender as identified in those plans, may be a cause for concern to all those working in this field.
