Report of the Inspector of Mental Hospitals, 2001: Statements.

 

I welcomed the announcement in November 2001 of degree level training for disability and psychiatric nursing. This is very welcome, as are the diplomas and degrees for general nursing. I hope the mental health commission and the new inspector of mental hospitals are successful and that they modernise the mental health services. We have seen the drab buildings and poor conditions the inspector referred to and, while improvements have taken place, we have a long way to go to modernise the mental health services.
