Because admission to a regional child and adolescent psychiatric unit is often fraught with difficulties children with psychiatric disorders were admitted to a general children's ward. Over the four years (1980-4) 24 patients accounted for 31 admissions. Of these, five had feeding disorders (anorexia, bulimia), seven neuroses, three psychoses, four elimination disorders, and five other diagnoses. All the children were later discharged to their homes, most having appreciably improved. Because of the proximity of the hospital to the child's natural environment work with the families and schools was not interrupted by the admission. The results of this approach are encouraging and could have implications for future planning of services for this category of patients.
由于进入地区儿童和青少年精神科病房往往困难重重，患有精神疾病的儿童被收治到普通儿童病房。在1980年至1984年的四年间，24名患者共入院31次。其中，5名患有进食障碍（厌食症、贪食症），7名患有神经症，3名患有精神病，4名患有排泄障碍，还有5名是其他诊断。所有儿童后来都出院回家，大多数病情明显好转。由于医院距离儿童的自然环境较近，住院并未中断与家庭和学校的合作。这种方法的结果令人鼓舞，可能会对这类患者未来的服务规划产生影响。
