Dr A. Rudd

A formalized system for selecting patients requiring long-term hospital accommodation is described and our first two years' experience presented. Fifty patients were considered by the panel of whom 25 were designated as being suitable to be transferred to a long-term bed. Alternative solutions were considered more appropriate for the remaining 25; only 0.95% of all admissions to the unit finally required long-term hospital care.

accepted in revised form March 9, 1987.
