The elderly mentally ill make considerable demands on health and social services. To evaluate the need for these services a one-day census of all people aged 65 and over was carried out in an area containing 220 000 people (40 000 over 65). Data were obtained on the nursing needs and psychiatric state of the 2162 elderly people in hospital or local authority residential homes for the elderly, or living at home receiving care from the community nursing service. One-third were classified as having psychiatric problems, more than half of them being outside hospital. Residential homes and community nurses play a significant part in caring for the elderly mentally ill, and an integrated but flexible manpower policy is important.
老年精神病患者对健康和社会服务提出了相当大的需求。为评估这些服务的需求，在一个有22万人口（其中65岁及以上人口4万）的地区，对所有65岁及以上的人群进行了为期一天的普查。收集了2162名住院或住在地方当局养老院的老年人，或居家接受社区护理服务的老年人的护理需求和精神状态数据。三分之一的人被归类为有精神问题，其中一半以上不在医院。养老院和社区护士在照顾老年精神病患者方面发挥着重要作用，制定综合但灵活的人力政策很重要。
