It is clear that the Crisis Intervention Team has a vital part to play in the provision of acute psychiatric care in Christchurch. Over the past ten years it has undergone a number of changes in response to the needs of those using the service. Although it is hard to measure its effectiveness, the figures the team has so far collected compare favourably with those of teams operating in other countries. It seems that as pressure comes to bear on the existing services, other centres are looking at the feasibility of setting up their own Crisis Intervention Teams. It may be that as a result, the Canterbury Hospital Board will soon lose the lead it has had in this area, as teams are set up in other main centres around New Zealand.
很明显，危机干预小组在克赖斯特彻奇提供急性精神病护理方面发挥着至关重要的作用。在过去十年里，它根据服务使用者的需求经历了一系列变革。尽管很难衡量其成效，但该小组目前收集的数据与其他国家运作的小组的数据相比颇具优势。随着现有服务面临压力，其他中心似乎正在审视设立自己的危机干预小组的可行性。结果可能是，坎特伯雷医院委员会很快将失去它在这一领域一直以来的领先地位，因为新西兰其他主要中心也将设立这样的小组。
