The main task of the mental health service since Union has been to overcome a chronic shortage of accommodation. The main reason for the lack of success was financial. The strain on accommodation was partially relieved by the introduction of modern methods of treatment and by the erection of hospitals for Blacks in the Homelands. The new Mental Health ACT OF 1973 is an improvement on the Mental Disorders Act of 1916.
自联邦成立以来，心理健康服务的主要任务一直是克服长期存在的住宿短缺问题。缺乏成效的主要原因是资金问题。通过引入现代治疗方法以及在各家园为黑人建造医院，住宿方面的压力得到了部分缓解。1973年新的《精神健康法》比1916年的《精神错乱法》有所改进。
